Setting leadscrew error compensation data

The principle of the leadscrew error compensation is to modify the actual value of the axis-specific position by the assigned
compensation value at the particular compensation point and to apply this value to the machine axis for immediate traversal.
A positive compensation value causes the corresponding machine axis to move in the negative direction.
