Using the flash meter makes sense, when NOT using
TTL/OTF metering. No need to actually fire a
shot. Nearly all flash meters trigger by "seeing"
a flash. That is, set up your arrangement, place the
flash meter at the subject's spot, it's dome facing
the lights (flashes, umbrellas, reflectors) and fire
by pressing the flash's open flash button. The meter
triggers automatically and measures and tells you what
it has "seen". It usually does not to be hold or anything.
At least that is what my flash meters do (no Luna F,
but CalcuFlash and Minolta meters).

What is the "flash's open flash button?"  Is it the test button? If so, in
auto or manual does the test button fire based on the flash settings (say
manual 104 or 52 or auto one of the three auto setting)
