I don't know the technical definition, but it just means that a tuner can tune to all the notes of the chromatic scale, including flats/sharps.On the guitar this is one note per fret spacing. An example of this is on the e string play it open first then fret the first fret ,second fret,third fret and so on for all the frets and all the strings. The noteg\s will be E F F# G G# A A# B C C# D D# then it starts at E again. Just remember there are no sharps after E and B and this pattern repeats all the way up and down the fretboard.

NOTE - chromatic is moving in semitones as opposed to diatonic which is moving in tones.
