Setting up intonation (correct tuning over the whole fretboard): measure the distance from your nut to bridge and plug it into the stewmac fret calculator and it'll spit out the fret spacing, after which you will need to move the bridge back and forth just a bit to get the same note open and at the 12th fret harmonic. If you're also fingering notes and not just slide playing, nut and bridge height play a big role, too, so you'll have to move (and possibly raise/lower) the bridge and adjust the nut so that your 12th fret fingered and harmonic both match the open note, while also keeping an eye on string height and first fret tuning. Make sure your frets, if you use them, are correctly spaced and straight, measure the distance of each fret from the nut, not each other.
