Will a flash exposure meter accurately measure the light from a flash if that flash is shooting in high speed sync (HSS) mode?
 
Best idea is to try it with your flash on your camera

Probabl'y varies by model

Sekonic claims their L-858D is the first flash meter that can measure HSS flash. I'm not aware of any others with this ability.

Currently no other flash meter will give you useful flash related info while HSS is in actual operation.

As it happens, today, I attended a workshop in the Netherlands by Frank Doorhof and he was using this light meter. It was able to record flash speeds faster than 1/8000 sec. He was testing new flash equipment from Hensel.

That sounds different than measuring HSS flash.
