I thought maybe it had a function that allowed dynamic timing while the engine was running, although there's no mention of that in WIS.
Would the 'drip/spill' method be as or more accurate?

There is a dynamic timing tool that adds another piece to the static timing tool. I have seen it in the Mercedes special tools section of the Star Tek area on their epc website. It has another component that measures the rpm of the motor and it has clips that hook onto the battery also. I am sure it is much more expensive than the static timing tool.
