SUMMARY
Changing the coupling mode from AC to DC on a digital storage oscilloscope does not affect the frequency of the AC signal being measured. The primary difference lies in the handling of the DC offset; while the DC component may be removed in AC coupling, the frequency remains unchanged. This behavior contrasts with analog oscilloscopes, which also maintain frequency consistency regardless of coupling mode. For a comprehensive analysis, the specific signal wave type and oscilloscope model should be provided.
