$SNS_MEA_FUNCTION_MASK_TOOL Bit9):
The tool offset values in geometry and wear are replaced.
The offset is applied in the geometry component of the particular length.
The wear component is deleted.
$SNS_MEA_FUNCTION_MASK_TOOL Bit9):
The resulting difference is calculated into the wear component (length) of the tool.
