It's a frequency METER!

As an Electronics man myself, when you say meter, I think of an analog faced meter with a needle pointer. How about a frequency counter? Isn't it counting the oscillations of the shaft?

I could certainly go with that. It's a more precise description of what it does, and it certainly doesn't have the pretensions of "analyzer". Though, in most cases, it isn't counting oscillations but rather timing a single oscillation. But it times it by counting pulses at a reference frequency, so "counter" is still appropriate.

(Frank, I know damn well YOU knew that, and were keeping it simple. I never know when to leave well enough alone, do I. :-)
