[Description]
The tool offset value can be directly written into the CNC.
Wear offset data, geometry offset data, cutter compensation data, and tool
length offset data can be written as a tool offset.

In the Power Mate–D and –F, write tool offsets without
specifying the classification (i.e. cutter compensation, tool
length, tool wear, and tool geometry).
