This is a group of fields with predefined purpose. These fields are assigned to automatic protection (Except for Index field which is used by the utility for remote programming). Thus GrdUtil.exe allows only for editing the contents of the general purpose fields but not deleting the fields themselves from the mask.
In the autoprotection mode the field contents is verified for compliance with predefined requirements. Assigning the field is done using a special option.
The general purpose fields can be also used by Guardant API functions (for example, by setting these fields as criteria for searching the dongle by the application).
