# Balance

The balance is used to measure the weight (in grams) of anything placed on it. It has a accuracy of 0.01 g.

Tips for use:

- The tare button returns the balance to zero at any time.
- When you click on the Ignore vessel weight button on the Balance's toolbar, the weight of any vessel placed on the balance is ignored.
- The balance shows a negative reading if it is tared to zero and the part on it is then removed.
