G91 Z0 H00 ... Cancel Gage length without movement.

I am working with a “fan15m” controller but when I run this line of code, G91 Z0 H00, which I use at the end of the tool paths to cancel the tool gage length offset at the machine without the machine moving in “Z”.   However, Vericut handles it by plunging the tool in “Z” the library tool gage length.
How can I get the controller to handle this line so the tool gage-length cancels without moving the machine in Vericut.   Once it is working correctly I would except to see the “Machine Z(Z) position and the “Local Z (Z)” become equally.  The actual machining center after reading this line has no movement… it only cancels the tool gage length.

Re: G91 Z0 H00 ... Cancel Gage length without movement.

It is more frequent to use G49 to cancel G43... Anyway you can get what you need by calling "UpdateAxisValues" macro right after "GageOffsetDrivenPoint" with "H" register.
Note about “Machine Z(Z) position and the “Local Z (Z)” become equally... This is true if there is no current work offset applied like G54...
