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.
