Hey Siggi!
That was my point. I don't need or want to be a computer
programmer to see a measurement value. The 2236
does things right there and no settings need to be
changed. As I also mentioned, you need to set cursors,
at the beginning and end of the waveform to get the freq
measurement you want. So that's nice in some
applications, but real easy to mess up if you want to see
the mixed freq coming out of a stage. That cursor needs
to be DEAD on to give you your information. That is not
an issue with the 2236. AFAIK, TEK never built another
model scope configured the same way as a 2236.

You have to play games with the 2445 to get an actual
freq readout and that depends on cursor settings. The
2236 is the only scope, that I'm aware of, that has a
dedicated freq readout in 8 digits on the front panel
without any other settings or connections besides the
probe to the circuit. Push a button and you get a voltage
readout. It's unique in those features.
My 2467 has the counter timer option, which'll give you an
on-screen
frequency readout if you know how to ask for it. You have to know
how to
navigate the annoying on-screen menu, though. It also seems to me
there
must be a bug with the OSD display intensity, as it always goes
absurdly
bright when I enter that menu. I believe the 2445B/2465B/2467B
scopes will
also do voltage measurement on request, though I don't own one of
those.
It seems pretty handy to have a dedicated frequency/voltage display
on the
front-panel.
