Default How to tell level-ness of concrete floor

Set a bowling ball or simular round smooth object down on it and see
if it rolls and where it rolls to.

Okay, I know this is probably a stupid question with an obvious
answer, but...How do I tell if my concrete basement floor is level or
not? It's not so bad that it's obviously wavy, but I don't want to
plan on finishing the basement with an engineered wood floor only to
find out that it's slightly out of level. I've heard as little as 10
mm over a 3m length will cause problems, but I am not sure how to
detect this amount of dip or rise. Thanks for any help!
