Measuring string height?

How exactly does one measure string height? How far down the fingerboard do you take the measurement, and do you measure to the bottom of the string or to the top?

String heights are measured at the very end of the fingerboard, from the top edge (playing edge) to the underside of the string. It's also (usually) measured in mm.
