Need to orient spindle. Using a quadrature encoder spindle need to be "homed" by rotating up to one revolution to find index pulse but there is no homing for spindle. Know what index pulse is in encoder but what does the index enable signal for spindle do? or how is it used?

There is a float input spindle.n.ref for spindle position or revs but as spindle rotate number of decimal points decrease then decimal point over time is moved. Uncertain how the pos signal is used internally.

There is orient.n.position input from encoder and orient.n.position output in orient module, simple to convert integer value to float in whatever unit is required which I am also not totally sure about but then spindle rotate decimal points will decrease, or what happen? It count only one turn?
