Make sure you're sitting on the bike and move it forward and backwards a little in case there's a loose or tight spot. Oh and make sure the marks are the same on both sides for alignment.

stand bike upright.have a person of good weight 150-200 pounds sit on bike.use a ruler that one end can touch floor,other end against chain runs.measure at a point half way between the sprockets on the lower run of chain.take a measure of where the chain is at rest,then push up with finger,it should only go up about an inch.

I think thats what you wanted.
