in cia402.comp there is this code responsible for home status

//home states  
  if (opmode_homing) {
    stat_homed    = ((statusword >> 10) & 1) && ((statusword >> 12) & 1);
    stat_homing   = !stat_homed && !((statusword >> 10) & 1);
  }

Edit: well never mind it should be 12

so as soon as `Target is reached` 10bit and `Operation limit active` 12bit (according to Rtelligent user manual) it will be homed
but in Rtelligent manual i have also found `Home find` bit15.
So is this bit15 just Rtelligent extra or it present in other drivers as well?

Now as soon as i set `index-enable` and start homing it triggers error for joint.
taskintf.cc 976: Error on join 3, command number 123

More interesting is how to turn off saving position-offset

answering my own question about motor-offset.

To not have it i just need to remove
POSITION_FILE = filename
from ini file, and now finally i don't have this offset added to true motor position each time when i reload linuxcnc.

i don't need it because i have absolute encoders
