text.
● <lines*chars>: here you specify the available space for the text in the GUI in number of characters and lines. You can
start a new line by inserting the character of "
". A maximum of 2 lines with 9 characters each are available for softkey
texts.
83000 "User%nCycles" // 2*9 ⇒ two lines, each line with nine-character space
83001 "CYCLE100" // 9 ⇒ one line with nine-character space
83020 "DIA short description" // 21 ⇒ one line with 21-character space
