My Bob Parker meter works at around 100kHz ...

The following diagram and flowchart indicate that, at least for the
Mark 2 design, the capacitor under test is pulsed with 8us constant
current pulses repeated every 500us:

That does appear to be so. Without looking it up, I just had it fixed in my
head that it was around 100kHz. With the fact that it is a highly asymmetric
waveform, duty factor-wise, I guess that it's hard to quote it as an actual
frequency. It's sort of 100+ kHz 'width' pulses, repeated at a frequency of
2kHz ...
