When you install the meter you will see an idle current, as you cycle the surface you will see the current go up but as you move the (for example) elevator to a new position thats not binding it will drop back to idle current or very nearly. When you hit the binding point you will see it rise significantly like .02 or .03 amps at idle, then it will rise near the end and shoot up to nearly or over an amp stalled depending on the servo you're using or worse if its stalled. Its pretty obvious. You can then use that meter to set max deflection w/o binding based on these readings.
I discuss it here including pictures
