How to Connect a Torque Sensor to an RS485 Cable?

Hello, I purchased a package with a digital rotary torque sensor (Model: ATO-TQS-DYN-200). Could anyone guide me on how to connect it to an RS485 cable?
Thanks in advance!

ATO wrote:Yes, I have seen the wiring diagram of the sensor cable but how to connect the torque sensor cable to the USB - universal serial cable? I have not seen instructions for this in the manual. Please advise.

Please advise which wire to connect to the USB - universal serial cable to properly receive data on the laptop.

Michael wrote:Michael, the yellow and blue line in the picture is the signal line of 485 communication connected to the USB - universal serial cable.

ATO wrote:Yes I am aware of that, I have the diagram. Are these signal wires connected in the right place on the USB universal cable or do they need to be in another spot? Where do the wires need to be for the sensor to connect to the data collection program?
