Mazak Mazatrol Nexus Control - Tool data boring bar tool holder question

Creating a tool in the tool library. Its a 1" Boring bar. Going through all the data and I come across the cell in the contents page to enter the tool holder type. The buttons are listed 1 through 4 however I don't know which to put in.

Looked in the manuals and didn't find anything yet except I understand there are four tool holder types for boring bars. Problem for me is there isn't correlation to the 1-4 option on the control.

Does it matter? Is this for the virtual machining features on the machine and it doesn't really matter?

Any help is appreciated!
 
Same issue here lost all tool data and going thru hell trying to recover been many years since I ran Mazak.
 
The holder doesn't really matter. It would be a representation of the tool block itself. I almost always just leave it at 0, it's more of a legacy barrier thing.
