To tune a guitar or bass, connect it to an audio input, use Tuner as an insert effect, and activate monitoring for the track.
Make sure that you deactivate any other effect that alters the pitch, such as a chorus or vibrato.
The graphical display indicates the currently played pitch as a note. If the played note is flat, the bars left of the middle will light up. If the played note is sharp, the bars right of the middle will light up. If you play the correct pitch, the middle bar turns green.
The button in the bottom right corner with the tuning fork icon toggles the detailed parameter section (Cent, Octave, Frequency, Base).
