The 100S can store the dimensional offset of an additional tool. This
allows you to use two tools without having to reestablish zero as you
change between them. In order for this feature to work, the tools must be
able to repeat their location when they are changed (Repeatable tooling).
To use this feature you must first select the tool number (either 0 or 1).
