DC Channel Coupling
In DC coupling mode, both AC and DC components exist in the input 
waveform to the instrument. DC coupling is useful for viewing waveforms 
as low as 0 Hz that do not have large DC offsets. The  symbol is 
shown at the top left of the status line. See Figure 3- 7 for DC channel 
coupling.

Ground channel coupling
In GND coupling mode, the waveform is disconnected from the 
oscilloscope input. The  symbol is shown at the top left of the status 
line.See Figure 3- 8 for Gnd channel coupling.
