Q&A Standardized way of measuring AC line frequency

If you're talking oscilloscopes, I used to do peak-to-peak measurements for the time period. And then, as you note, invert for the frequency.

Q&A How do we calculate signal rise time from frequency

Your question is ambiguous. First, you need to define "rise time". That applies to a step, not a periodic signal. Let's say you have a 0 to 5 V digital signal. The rise time is how long it take...
