The Text to display in CWT section

Warning:
It is very important to add the tariff description in this section. Otherwise the CWT display will be blank when it tries to display the Tariff

Tariff Display Text

 

The CWT terminal uses a set of 10 rows and 2 columns to define the Tariff Information. The CWT Standard configuration uses less rows. The available space in each field depends on the display layout used in the terminal. The exact amount of characters differs from display model to display model and depends on the layout of the user interface. The exact location and size of each field is set in the User Interface file. Ask Flowbird Support if you want help designing your display layout.

Reference:
For how to create a User Interface for a CWT terminal read the CWT User Interface Design Handbook

In the example below the display is divided into 4 columns. The rows 0 to 4 are displayed on the left hand side, rows 5 to 9 are displayed on the right hand side. This will limit the number of characters to be displayed to 15. If the text is longer than the available space, only the first 15 characters will be displayed. The rest will be cut off.
