The LED action you describe is correct.
You didn't actually tell us what pins on the 901p connector you are measuring for the analog.
I have gotten three of these. They all have the 3-row 15-pin D connector (like VGA monitors use). I assume yours does too. I haven't seen one yet that wasn't set up to all defaults when I got it. If yours has been set to some other analog output curve, you'll need to get the serial connection working to issue status read commands or to change a setting. (I assume you knew that.)
Here's a pic of the circuit for an adapter that I wired up to connect to the 901p.
The top two parts are straight out of the manual. Just to be clear, the left pic of the 15-pin connector is looking into the connector on the sensor. I wired it up just like their picture on the right. For power, I connect to a small 12 V SLA battery (12V 7Ah) and I have a switch in the (+) line so I can turn it on and off.
The list at the bottom probably only applies to what I did. I found a VGA cable and cut off one connector so I had a cable with wires on one end to a female 15-pin that plug into the 901p. The colors are what I learned about the cable after ohming all the pins. On a VGA, pin 9 isn't needed so there's no wire for that. I haven't used the sensor relays yet but I figure the Normally Closed of relay 1 I can probably live without.
Here's a pic of the little board I made for this.
For the two pins I provided to measure analog out, they are just like in the circuit diagram, the (+) goes to the 901p pin 5, and the minus to pin 6.
I don't usually use the analog out, but I tried it tonight. I connected a DVM. At atmospheric I saw 8.88 V. On a pump, the serial measurement output said 2 E-2 (20 mTorr) and the voltage was 4.3 V, which matches the default chart in the manual.
To see how your 901p is configured or to change it you'll need to get the serial interface talking. I checked the connections on my adapter board. On the board I've got a 9-pin female connector that plugs into the 9-pin male on the end of a USB-to-Serial adapter cable I am using. So the pins on the female 9-pin of my adapter are wired just as shown. (Pin 1 of the 901p 15-pin is wired to pin 2 of the female 9-pin on my adapter.)
The command to check the analog output emulation is:
@254AO1?;FF
(254 is a broadcast address so should always work.)
Mine returns:
@253ACK30;FF
So is set to '30' which is the factory default.
