Ok I think I have it figured out.
First I was wrong on a point or two
Camshaft deviation and Camshaft angle readings are unrelated.
Cam deviation is expressed in degrees of crank rotation.
Actual cam angle is also expressed in degrees of crankshaft rotation.
Actual cam angle is what the DME expects to see.
So with Variocam actuator off the DME expects to see O degrees of Cam angle
With Variocam actuators on the DME expects to see 25 Degrees of Cam angle
That explains why you see both your cams at or very near 0 degrees at 700 RPM
And very near 25 degrees at the trigger point.
So Cam deviation is an adaptation value.
Where as Cam angle is degrees of Cam advance (exhaust cam only I think) when the Variocam system is active.
Seems that the "Actual cam angle" readings are related to the operation of the Variocam system only.
Thats my current understanding.
Sorry about any confusion from my previous post.
