Usually, setting the two outside strings works best.

I usually just use my ruler and measure each string individually, which will get them to the radius of your fret board.

My goal is usually 4/64" on the low side and 4-5/64" on the high side at the 12th fret.

I also just set height on all strings, if they are right then radius is right.
