Not applicable to new sight installation

I purchased this based on the description saying it will measure the dovetail - I need the dovetail angle to cut a dovetail for a slide. This device won't do that at all. In fact, I can't figure out how it can be helpful. Maybe I'm missing something. Without the dovetail angle this device can't measure anything. Dial calipers can measure what this measures without the math and without knowing the dovetail angle.
