Is the pc terminal only for studio flash use or can other equipment (ie.light meter) be connected to it?

why in the world would you want to connect a light meter via pc cord to the camera? (the light meter is attached via pc cord to flash.) the terminal is a triggering device, thus you can use it to trigger all sorts of strobes/flashes. on location, i use it to sync my vivtar 285, which i put on a stand, to my camera. as long as the flash has proper connectivity, this works (i had to replace a part from my flash to get this feature).
