Yes. Make sure it is set up to measure current, not voltage. Often this means connecting the test probe to a different jack on the dmm.
Just for interests sake, what am I actually doing at this stage of the alignment?
You're measuring the current drawn by the transistors as you adjust the bias voltage. This sets the proper operating point for the transistors so that they will not burn up and will produce a reasonable amount of power with an acceptably low amount of distortion.
