This mount clips onto the X-axis rail of the Prusa XL and holds a dial indicator with a 3/8" (.375") stem. 

I used this to check and adjust the bed level after receiving my XL. I found mine was out a total of .052" (1.32mm) difference from front to rear of the heat bed frame. with this I was able to adjust within .001".

A quick way to tell that you need adjustment is by placing a piece of tape near the bottom of one of the Z axis lead screws and then watch a test print. If you have a test print that moves all the way from the front to the rear of the heat bed, and you see more than ½ rotation of the lead screw, you might want to adjust level and save some wear on the lead screw nuts.
