Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Property TareWeight() As Decimal

public abstract decimal TareWeight {get; set;}

public: property virtual Decimal^ TareWeight{
    Decimal^ get();
    Void set(Decimal^);
}

public abstract System.Decimal get_TareWeight();
public abstract void set_TareWeight(System.Decimal);

public abstract function get TareWeight() : Decimal;
public abstract function set TareWeight(Decimal);

Remarks

The weight in TareWeight has an assumed fractional part of three digits. For example, an actual value of 12345 represents 12.345, and an actual value of 5 represents 0.005. The measured unit is specified in the WeightUnit property. If CapTareWeight is FALSE, the device does not support setting a tare value and TareWeight is always zero.

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 cause the following exception to be thrown:

Value	Meaning
Illegal	CapTareWeight is FALSE or an invalid tare value was specified.
