There is a little tong on a flywheel internal to the IP. There is a little port on the side of the IP and when the tong is in the center of that port the engine should be at 15 ATDC. The tong can be centered by the RIV tool, which has two "feelers" that go on either side of the tong. There are two LEDs on the tool... when one is lit up you need to advance, when another is lit up you need to retard, when both are lit up the engine is timed correctly. Hope that made sense... my terminology is horrible. The dynamic tool puts a sensor in that port instead of the "feelers" (similar to an ABS sensor). You also have to hook up the tach signal, etc. This not only checks the basic timing, but can check the timing advance device (since you can change the RPMs etc). I've never actually seen one of these tools except in the MB manual.
