freq counter?

[Martin Czech]

What you really need is a time intervall (period) measurer.
Because the frequencys we use in audio are so low.
E.g. for 1s gate time you may read 49, 50 or 51 Hz.
Not very usefull...

Modern "frequency counters" allow for frequency and time (period)
measurement, look at the www.elv.com page, product # 68-228-76,
about 50 EURO, 	I've build this one and it works ok.
(the documentation of the jumpers was not ok...)

This thing is especially nice, because it determines when the resolution
in frequency mode is too low and does a period measurement instead,
then it computes the reciprocal -> frequency.
This means: the frequency reading is allways meaningfull and accurate,
you don't need to calculate the frequency from a period measurement.
