How should I name a filter slot which is empty?  I use Maxim and ACP so I have to enter a name in each.  I want it to be a "v" report but taken without a filter.  VPHOT is fussy about what it will accept and I reset all my filters to a new wheel and forgot the trick  to allow uploading when I named the filter "empty".

I thought that you use CV as

I thought that you use CV as it is a clear filter ie no filter and you are using the V comp data.

Clear doesnt mean a lum filter.
