Darkroom Automation's support web site has a file to
help determine the required exposure correction for
magnification changes.

The ruler measures square-law light fall-off in stops.
Simple subtraction of the new and old measurements
yields the required exposure correction - no dividing,
no squaring, no logarithms.

If great accuracy is needed then an exposure meter
should be used.  Different enlargers require different
corrections for the non-square-law light fall off from the
condenser or diffuser to the lens - this is only critical
at small magnifications.
