serial-port

I have an old RM-1501 digital tachometer which I'm using to try to identify the speed of an object.

According to the manual I should be able to read the data over a serial link. Unfortunately, I don't appear to be able to get any sensible output from the device (never gives a valid speed). I think it might be a signalling problem because disconnecting the CTS line starts to get some data through..

Has anyone ever developed anything for one of these / had any success?
