7.3 Creating a new NK8237 Composer project
In the Composer environment, new NK8237 projects should be started from an
empty template. Depending on the DMS8000 installation you have, there are two
ways to do that.
 If your DMS8000 installation only includes the Composer tool (as documented
in the installation section 6.1.3.1 at p. 25), you can just select the Ne
w com-
mand in the Project Management window (Fig. 27) to open a new empty pro-
ject
and start the NK8237 configuration.
If Composer is open, you can also click File  New on the menu bar.

In this type of scenario, you can skip the remaining part of this section and pro-
ceed directly to section 7.4 below.

Instead, starting a new Composer project on a computer where MM8000 or
MK8000 product is installed (Stand-alone station setups) results in a predefined
MM8000 or MK8000 template being used. In this case, a specific procedure is
required to restore an empty template. You need to operate as described here
below.
Do not use an MM8000 or MK8000 template for configuring the NK8237,
which cannot be used in MM8000 or MK8000 configurations. In such cases,
you can apply the NK8232 and NK8235 units.
