There is no special machine that measures that directly. Astronomers have to observe objects known to be close to the black hole (most black holes observed are part of a binary or multiple system, simply because those are easier to detect), and use one of the usual methods used in astronomy to calculate distances.

What would be your weight in deep space and near a black hole?

Your "weight" is the magnitude of the gravitational force between you and another mass. -- In deep space, far from any other mass, the gravitational force between you and any other mass would be very small, but never zero. -- Near a back hole, the gravitational force between you and the black hole would be (gravitational constant) x (your mass) x (black hole's mass)/(your distance from the black hole)2
