I don't but. If there is not a connector on the back, you will need to
route the signal to one.
Find the erase button and look at the voltages. The "erase" signal will
either be grounded
to function or will be raise to a voltage level +5 or +12 for example.
Once you have that, all you need is a 2 wire connector, a 1/8" audio for
example.
There are manuals on Ebay but for something this simple it is your call.

Has anyone got a manual for an HP 1331A X-Y display? It's a storage-tube
device, and I'm curious to know if there's a way of triggering the erase
function remotely rather than having to physically prod the erase button on
the front.
The rear just has X-Y-Z inputs, and I *think* that X-Y are supposed to be
in the order of +/- 1V, while Z is the intensity with 0V being full and
around 1V being off. Maybe throwing a negative voltage at Z erases, or
something, though.
