The Tare operation is used to record a Tare weight. A Tare weight represents a value that should be excluded from a Gross weight in order to determine a Net weight.
When you Tare a Truck, that Tare weight value is recorded in the Truck table.
A Tare weight can be recorded automatically or manually.
To record a Tare weight automatically (Auto tare), the first step is to position the empty Truck on your scale. Once the Truck (or Trailer or Container) is in position:
| • | If it is the Trucks first time on the scale, type a new and unique Truck ID to identify at the Truck ID control |
| • | If you updating the Tare of an existing Truck, select the Truck ID from the combo box |
To record the Tare weight, click the Tare button.
| • | If it's the Trucks first time on the scale, the Truck will be added to the Truck table and it's Tare weight will be recorded |
| • | If the Truck already exists in the Truck table, it's Tare will be updated |
When a Tare weight is recorded, Last Tared will indicate the exact date and time it was recorded and Days Since Last Tare will be 0. The A to the right of the Tare weight indicates it was captured directly from the scale.
To record a Tare weight manually (Manual tare):
| • | If it's the Trucks first time on the scale, type a new and unique Truck ID to identify the Truck at the Truck ID control |
| • | If you updating the Tare of an existing Truck, select the Truck ID from the combo box |
Now type the Trucks Tare weight using the Tare edit control and then click the Tare button.
| • | If it's the Trucks first time on the scale, the Truck will be added to the Truck table and it's Tare weight will be recorded |
| • | If the Truck already exists in the Truck table, it's Tare will be updated |
When the Tare weight has been record, Last Tared will indicate the exact date and time it was recorded and Days Since Last Tare will be 0. The M to the right of the Tare weight indicates it was entered manually.
