The idea being a wheelchair user could carry the frame flat packed and then assemble it and use it to measure at a comfortable height the gradient by placing the digital level on the top of the frame that was then parallel to the slope on the ground. obviousy you could make the size of the square to suit the level being used and also the comfortable height for the user.
