[sdiy] Software to log frequency every x seconds?

Because he wants to know if the frequency drifts. Tracking it on a 
frequency analysis program will quickly show whether it is drifting or 
not, and by how much in Hz.

But there is a predictable relationship between them.

"Pitch" can be (and always is, mathematically) expressed by frequency. 
The relationship is easy to look up. In fact, "pitch" is a somewhat 
imaginary label given to the physical phenomenon of frequency in Hz.

And not all of us use Western musical notes in our synthesizers ;-)
