By the way, I can barely decipher your screenshot. I strongly recommend
using the screenshot functionality of your operating system instead of
using a camera to digitize the analog lightwaves that were generated
from a screen that converted the digital picture to light...
that being said, I don't really understand your question

So: What is the very definition of "frequency"? Right, it's the rate at
which a periodic thing happens.
so you measure the time distance between two rising edges, and do
1/that, and instantly have the frequency.
That's a very "analog measurement device" or "cycle counting" way of
doing this.

Hm. What do *you* think the oscilloscope does?
Dan's recommendation was absolutely on-spot. Use a spectrum/fft sink. If
you don't understand what "spectrum" is, read a bit wikipedia :) That's
really the easiest way I could think of.
Other than that, read up on autocorrelation, and how to calculate it in
a DSP system.

Best regards,
Marcus
