[Vwdiesel] 1.6L Diesel Compression

[MikeyBigFish at wmconnect.com]

Folks,
           When tracking down specifications for the VW1.6L diesel n/a.
I stumbled upon compression ratio (23:1).
See page#16 on this Audi/VW link below:
<A HREF="http://www.audivwcrewpr.com/servicemanual/Mk2/10.pdf">vwdiesel1.6Lna&td</A> 
I know VW is very accurate w/ their specs and 23:1 is their standard.  
How is compression measured? 
Anyone know what cylinder compression should read on fresh 1.6L diesels?
Also, what is the unacceptable level?
  
Thanks, Mike in
