I'm not a Verituner user either (and I rarely get out my RTC) but the 
way I understand it, VT's DSP derives frequencies for the lower eight 
partials on the current note, and then calculates the tuning based on 
the notes currently known (with all those partials). The spinner may 
represent one partial in particular or it may represent a composite. 
That depends on which partial the VT is listening to as you bring 
that single string in. In any case, once the visual display has 
stabilized, the note has been tuned. Who needs to know anything more 
than that.
