First, make sureyou are using the right string not fast flight, the package should say for carved limbs. Put the string on your bow, twisting the string so that when you have it on the string is about 1 1/2 " above the riser , there should be a line 1" from the riser youe bow may not have on if its one of the earlier ones.
Take a scribe or some thing sharp and mark the rail at 1" above the riser that will be your brace height.
Once the height is done shoot about 10 shot , the new string will stretch to below the line. take the string offr and twist again till your at 1 1/2 ", shoot some more. Keep this up till it doesn't stretch any more , it may take a few times, then set the string at 1 1/8 above the riser and your on your way.

Digger, you mean 1 1/2 below the riser.
I measure from the riser down to the string. How do you measure?

Up from the riser to the trigger.
