You can't separate the two for a sensored motor in sensored operation mode.
1) Mechanical Endbell" timing" is always present (be it zero or wherever).
2) For a sensored motor ESC "timing" is always present (be it at zero, or wherever) and triggered from the sensors. (unless the ESC switches to sensorles).
