[comp.sys.hp] HP scope and PC

wcwang@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Bill Wang) (09/22/90)

We are interested in any idea or current using system which
will enable us to connect a HP x-y display monitor model 1340a
(ocilliscope) to an IBM compatible computer.  We are trying to
use the scope for some psychological experiments.  Any comments or
current settings would be appreciated.

The 1340A is an "Analog XYZ display".  You need some type of "digital
coordinate location and intensity to analog XYZ converter".  

HP used to make a product called the 1351A graphics translator.  It's
a vector generator: you download the vectors you want displayed over an
interface (IEEE-1978 or custom parallel) and the 1351A translates the
vectors into appropriate analog signals for the 1340A (among others).

I don't know the current cost or obsolescence status of the 1351A.  I
suggest you call your local HP sales office.
