emc can use the encoder index-enable feature in two ways: at the beginning of spindle-synchronized motion, and at a specific step of homing.
Specific machines might use index-enable in other ways as well. For instance, I know of rotary toolchangers with quadrature output and index. A ladder program would probably use the index feature once at the first toolchange to establish the absolute position of the toolchanger, and from then on use the position of the toolchanger's encoder to know what pocket is currently prepared.
