Are you sure about that? The index pulse is generally very short and might be impossible to see if using the HAL probes (and will often not even show up in Halscope)

The way to test it is to set spindle.0.index-enable to 1, then rotate the spindle, and see if it resets to zero at the  index position. 

Use "sets" on the signal that is associated with your encoder index. In your case it looks like 

Will do it. 

For testing, I suggest opening an interactive HAL session. Start LinuxCNC and then open a terminal.

Will start an interactive HAL session ("exit to finish")

Then you can issue commands such as "show pin" to get a list of all the pins and their states (or "show pin *enable*" to see all the enable pins)

If the oeffset enable pin is unconnected then you can set it true with "setp" but if it is connected to a signal then you would need to use "sets" on the signal instead.

Other helpful things to type:
loadusr halmeter (opens a halmeter, repeat the command for more halmeters)
loadusr halscope (open the halscope)
delsig {signal_name} (deletes a signal, and unlinks the pins associates with that signal)
