TOOLOFFSET – This command updates a tool offset for the currently attached machine. The format is:

TOOLOFFSET ToolName ProgName FileName dl dd;

- ToolName is the name (number) of the tool for which the offset will be set.

- ProgName is the name of the macro that will update the tool offset. Some interfaces do not require a macro name, in which case ProgName can be “”.

- FileName is the name of the file that contains the macro program. Some interfaces communicate directly with the CNC controller. These interfaces do not use FileName, which can be set to “”. Interfaces that do not communicate directly will create the command necessary to implement the offset update in this file. The user must upload this program to the controller and execute it in this case.

- dl is the change that will be applied to length offset of the tool. Note that this is a delta change to the current tool offset. This is required, enter zero if the length is not to be modified.

- dd is the change that will be applied to diameter offset of the tool. Note that this is a delta change to the current tool offset. This is required, enter zero if the length is not to be modified.

an example:

TOOLOFFSET 6 O8889 C:\TOOL6.WRK [DL] [DD];
