Thank you Yeti,

in the Fourier domain (FFT, filtering, inverse FFT) what kind of filtering is 
used? There should be two different filters used, one highpass filter for the 
roughness and a lowpass filter for the waviness, which seperates the profiles. 
There are several possible filters for this and I need to know which one is 
used in Gwyddion, to be able to compare the waviness and roughness parameters 
with parameters calculated with another program for Laser Scanning Microscope 
Measurements.

Regards,
Lena

No, the high/low separation is done directly in the Fourier domain (i.e.
FFT, filtering, and inverse FFT).  I am not an expert at norms I recall there 
are several possible separation methods.

"fs" always infinity and "ff" is always zero.  I.e. anything above "fc"
goes to roughness, anything below goes to waviness.
