You are tuning in ionian mode here, examples of which would be DAA (key of D) or CGG (key of C).
There are several other modes one can tune to in order to play different tunes, but ionian is probably the most practical mode for beginning noter players.
In this particular instance, the poster has tuned to the key of D# sharp, since he is not concerned with trying to match with another instrument.
