Yes, the harmonics are the "chimes." You play the harmonic at the 12th fret, then compare to the fretted 12th. You move your bridge to get the harmonic to match the fretted note as closely as possible. Typically you'll do the two outer courses and might slightly twist the bridge to try to get the best intonation on those strings.
