The text reads like it resets the counter to zero everytime this index pulse goes true, although that isn't stated, could be false. Confusing to be sure, so which edge is the active edge when waiting to start a G76 or G33.1? rising or falling? the first edge as the index piece is approaching could have have some timing error, while the 2nd edge as the pole piece crosses the centerline of the hall elements should be pretty accurate.
