Notes
This is a global parameter; the value set here applies to all axes.
In the Dual Processing Lathe, this is a per process parameter. The value set
in the parameters applies to all of the axes assigned to that process.
This parameter is not available for mill and grinder applications.
Function
This parameter is for mill versions only. The tool length axis (or axes) for
lathes is determined by axis words that are programmed in the block with
the T-word. If, for a lathe version, a T-word is programmed with no axis
words, then all axes that have a tool length value assigned to them
are offset.
This parameter determines what axis is offset by the tool length values on
mill versions only. The tool length values are entered in the tool offset
tables (geometry and wear) and are called by an H-word in a program.
