The AXIS status line displays tool information for the currently loaded
tool, which can be different from the tool length offset in effect from
G43.
You can better observe the behavior in MDI. For instance, after each of
the following commands, information about the loaded tool is displayed;
this includes length, even though no tool length compensation is in
effect:
T1M6
T2M6
T3M6
T0M6
If you issue the following commands you'll see "Z" change in the DRO but
the tool item in the status bar doesn't (if you do this right after the
lines above you'll have tool 0 loaded so it'll display "No tool"):
G43H1
G43H2
G43H3
G43.1K1 (tool length 1 unit)
G43H0
