h2. How to put a MathCAD sheet on the wiki
MathCAD files can be posted on the wiki by placing them in the correct folder on the eswserver. You can do this by mapping the drive from the AguaClara lab computers. The mapping is to \\eswserver\mathcadserver\ and the user name and password is the same as for the default aguaclara account. When naming the file don't use any spaces.
To insert the worksheet into a wiki page use the following link notation where the only thing that is changed is the filename and the brackets.
{noformat}{iframe:height=500|width=1000|src=http://eswserver.cee.cornell.edu/mas/worksheets/[filename]?TemplatePath=worksheets/mathweb.mlt}{iframe}{noformat}
For example below is a worksheet to design the [Flow Controller].
