The figure below is the schematic of the serial interface cable (MLFB P/N 7ME3960-0CS00)
needed to make the physical connection between the flowmeter and your PC. The wire ends
for the flowmeter terminations are stripped for easy insertion into TB2. Note that both
connectors have their CTS pin shorted to the RTS pin (pins 4-5 on 25-pin connector and pins
7-8 on 9-pin connector).
