To calculate the exact measurement from this
grade chart you will need to take two
measurements based off the fall. For example, if
you required a 1 in 60 fall that equaled 1.667%
you would need to measure out 6 meters from the
laser and lower the laser detector down the staff

the brand and model of laser level that you are
using, the laser level may display a visible indicator
