Default Tool to Measure Chain Deflection?

Does anyone know of a tool or jig to measure the chain deflection? Thanks.

Or you can use a simple 6" steel rule.....

Same results and a heck of a lot cheaper.....

I agree with Bob.
I use a 6" flexible rule.I use one of the cover screws to hold it on the side of the case while checking the chain.
I also use a 3/8 rachet with a deep set socket to deflect the upper part of the chain,then read the movment between the rachet handle and rule.
