There is no 'ST' or 'DC' marks...there will be a 'T' for top dead center, and 'S' or 'SP' for spark point. You use the 'S' or 'SP' mark to time the engine.
Here's another thing...if you are using a cheap digital multimeter, the meter's sample rate is extremely low, so you'll need to turn the flywheel VERY slowly or you'll miss the mark and have it timed wrong. The older analog types actually work better, as the needle fluctuates almost immediately.

'dial industry'...you mean 'dial indicator'? If you set them as they were starting to close, with a dial indicator, and the engine runs, there is something really messed up with your engine. That doesn't make any sense at all. The points will create a spark when they open, not close.
