So how do I measure "relief" to be in an acceptable range?

Thanks to all for great education. It seems the bottom line is this:
Use the truss rod to set the "relief" at between 0.003" to 0.010".
Then adjust action by adjustments to saddle and/or nut grooves.
Taylor (just one) recommendation is .007" measured at the 6th fret.
