On the HAAS lathe you do it like this T0101 which is tool 1 with offset 1 or T0115 which is tool 1 with offset 15
The G43 is implied and you never have to use it. On the mill (HAAS) you use the G43 Hxx for whatever tool you need. Not sure why you need the G43, it seems redudant since I cannot think of another instance where I use H.... Maybe just tradition.
