I would either:
A. Call Rywire
B. Use a DMM and probe at the ECU with help from the FSM.

Crank is the sensor on the inner side of the wheel measuring the 12 (or was that 24?) teeth.

Cam is the sensor on the outside of the wheel measuring the 2 teeth.

Crank gives an engine RPM signal. Cam tells the ECU when the engine crosses TDC (roughly) so it can calculate the position based on the signals from Crank.
