what you want to measure is a time-series of either frequency data or phase data. the simplest possible case for a beginner would be to have two clocks with 1-PPS (one pulse per second) outputs, and connect one clock to the start-input and the other to the stop-input of a time-interval counter. If you measure phase, keep the time-interval number to a 5...6 digit number and you don't have to worry too much about the internal time-base of the counter.
