metering - How do I read the shutter speed from my light meter?

I'm very new to photography. I am doing objects in studio light conditions.

I have an Olympus OM-D E-M1.

I was given a Sekonic 478DR light meter.

Trying to play around with it, and I can't figure out the shutter speed. On the meter its numbers like 8-8 the second 8 being subscript but my camera shutter speeds are like 1.3, 1.6, ... 10,20,30...500, 510..

Shutter speeds at 20 is completely white and 80 is at least visible.

How do I convert the 8-8 to something I can put into the camera?

Just trying to figure it out, not trying to discuss pro and cons and/or using a meter or not using a meter.

Thanks

The "T" indicator means shutter speed, so it is telling you "8" which is a shutter speed of 1/8 of a second (not 8 seconds)

For an explanation of the subscript, see scottbb's answer below.
