It's best to measure the capacitor at the frequency of interest, especially
as that frequency increases. For a "sticker value", use a low frequency -
1 MHz or less. As the frequency increases, parasitic inductance becomes
more and more evident which cancels some of the effective capacitance.

What is a typical stimulus range for measuring a Cap?
If it makes any difference it is a 500pf cap, and is used between 3.5
and 4 Mhz.
Should I set the stimulus rage for those values?
And the measurement should be taken when the smith chart tracer thing is
right at the bottom like 6 O'clock position correct?
