In this Question Line video, Jason answers the following question regarding profile tolerance: 

How are we supposed to report an unequal profile tolerance?

To answer this question, Jason reviews a drawing that has two profile tolerances, one that is unequally disposed and one that is not. He shows how the measurements taken for the surface deviation would be used to calculate a total profile deviation which would then be compared to the tolerance listed in the feature control frame to determine whether the part passes the profile inspection.
