  1. The table summarises the main parameters and limits for different filtering conditions used in GP. Other parameters and limits that are used in default/standard filtering setting of GP/Acuity are: [Sum of Medians (635/532)] > 200–500, [B532 CV] < 25, [B635 CV] < 25, LCase([ID]) <> "empty". NR indicates that a corresponding parameter is not a default parameter as recommended in GP.
