Tool compensation values can be entered into CNC memory from the
CRT/MDI panel (see section III–11.4.1) or from a program.
A tool compensation value is selected from the CNC memory when the
corresponding code is specified after address H or D in a program.
The value is used for tool length compensation, cutter compensation, or
the tool offset.
Table 14.6 (a) shows the valid input range of tool compensation values.

The memory can hold 32, 64, 99, 200, or 400, tool compensation values
(option).
Address D or H is used in the program. The address used depends on
which of the following functions is used: tool length compensation(see
II–14.1), tool offset (see II–14.3), cutter compensation B (see II–
NO TAG), or cutter compensation C (see II–14.5).
The range of the number that comes after the address (D or H) depens on
the number of tool compensation values : 0 to 32, 0 to 64, 0 to 99, 0 to
200, or 0 to 400.
