Analog wire connection to coaxial cables to DAQ

Hello everyone
My flowmeter has 4 outputs (2 wires for power and 2 analog outputs for temperature and flowrate). I want to connect the single wire (my analog flowrate) to a coaxial wire to connect it to a DAQ. How can I connect a single wire to a coaxial? Do I need a ground? Generally is it possible.

+ I want to connect it to coaxial to prevent noise 

 

Thank you

Type of sensor? (Link to datasheet?)

Type of DAQ?

 

And yes, you will need a ground connection 😉 😄

“ground” is a convenient fantasy

Thank you for your message.

This is the flowmeter I am going to use:

and this is the DAQ:

Flowmeter provides an analog output for flowrate. I dont know if I need to have a flowmeter with negative voltage output to show we have reverse flow to the DAQ. This flowmeter voltage output is always positive, it means the DAQ will not receive any information about the reverse flow?

 Thank you
