(1) Tool offset memory (type I: parameter "#1037 cmdtyp" = 1)
Form compensation memory is not distinct from abrasion compensation memory. Set the sum amount
of form compensation and abrasion compensation.
Offset data is common to the tool length, tool offset, tool diameter, and cutter compensation.
(2) Tool offset memory (type II: parameter "#1037 cmdtyp" = 2)
Set the shape compensation amount and wear compensation amount separately. The form
compensation amount is separated into the length dimensions and diameter dimension.
Of offset data, the length dimension data is used for tool length and the diameter dimension data is
used for tool diameter cutter compensation.
Tool offset memory type I
Tool offset memory type II
