Abstract: A synchronizing gate signal is generated in synchronism with an input signal or a clock signal, and first and second gates are opened by the synchronizing gate signal. The input signal having passed through the first gate is counted by a first counter circuit, and the clock signal having passed through the second gate is frequency-divided by a divide-by-10.sup.n frequency divider. An output from the frequency divider is counted by a second counter means. The synchronizing gate signal is generated under the control of a control circuit, and is prevented from being generated when the output from the frequency divider is applied to the control circuit. The n in the frequency-division ratio 1/10.sup.n of the frequency divider and a maximum count P of a third counter circuit are determined from a count of the third counter circuit, a preset measurement accuracy, and a period of the clock signal at the time one output is produced from the frequency divider, the n being set in the frequency divider.
