public abstract function get TareWeight () : decimal

public abstract function set TareWeight (value : decimal)

Remarks

The measurement unit is specified in the WeightUnit property. If the CapTareWeight property is set to false, the device does not support setting a tare value and TareWeight is always zero.

Note

POS for .NET does not use an assumed decimal place for TareWeight. The returned value is the actual value and should not be shifted before use.

Tare weight is not included in the item weight returned by the ReadWeight method.

TareWeight is typically initialized to the scale’s default tare weight (usually zero) when the device is first enabled.

Accessing TareWeight can may cause a PosControlException to be thrown with the following ErrorCode:
