TagScaleStr
Gets the value of a tag at a specified scale. The value is returned as a formatted string using the tags format specification and (optionally) the engineering units. Use this function to write generic Cicode that will work with any type of tag.
Note: This function is being deprecated and is replaced by the TagGetScale function. If the Tag properties are updated TagScaleStr does not get the updated values whereas TagGetScale does.

EngUnits:
Optional flag to determine if the value is returned with engineering units:
0 - Do not return the value with engineering units
1 - Return the value with engineering units
