And not one you should alter ;) It's normal for lathe tool offsets and tables to be in absolute native machine units and they should never alter. If you are setting a tool length, the tool table values ALWAYS stays in "radius" mode, NEVER "diameter" mode, the conversion is done in CAM and the program controller display. Anything other than that will royally screw up "diameter mode" CAM produced code.
