Instead of going through all the misery of dealing with the sensor company,why don't you get in touch with SuperFlow support and find out how to use the programmable outputs on there controller.
That is why your employer spent the big bucks on this dyno, the controller and the software to run it.
If you read everything good in this topic, this is my solution after contacting the SuperFlow support. And I don't know if you know what's happened at SupeFlow? Through a merger by PowerTest and closing SuperFlow Europe, their support is terrible. They don't give an usefull answer on my questions or don't answer at all.

Also I am a little confused. This started out as a project on a dyno and evolved into race cars paddle shifters and shift cut. It sounds like what you are trying to develop is a system to momentarily cut the engine power to unload the drivetrain and allow shifting without a clutch. Correct me if I'm wrong.
No your wrong. I only would like to simulate the engine behaviour of the engine cut off on the dyno. The ECU already could do this. Therefore I have to power a pin at a certain engine speed.

Not trying to be snarky, but are you an engineer or is this your title on the race team.
Officialy I am a young graduation student in Automotive Engineering. From the outside it all seems easy, but if you don't know the facts, please dont answer.
Not only to you, but for everyone:
- For sure I could take another sensor
- And for sure it is easiest to use the dyno without Arduino
But fact one is: SuperFlow doesn't provide information about their components
And fact two: the company would like to use their dyno stuff they have. Don't know if anyone overhere saw an engine dyno room before, but their are too much wires and sensors already in for data aquistion. Maybe then you understand my and the companies purpose for using the stuff we already have.
