For my part, I use
-one old me7 harness connector
-odb2 to obd1 (2x2) adaptor
-multimeter wiring with banana plug
-current and voltage adjustable power supply
I don't use any resistor because I can limit the current on my PS
But an me7 ecu on the bench don't take more than 300mA if I remember. I'll check how many mA it take, next time I will play on my me7.5
