You can view and specify the properties of converters in the Converter Library under the Components Library. You can create a new converter from scratch or by copying an existing one. After you copy a converter, change the properties as required and give the new converter a unique name to distinguish it from the others. HOMER adds this new converter to your library when you click OK. The new converter then appears in the list of available converter types on the Converter page.
