It adds a multiple string trigger function on top of the capabilities of sister models [[834]] and [[835]].  Compared to the 835, it has an extra [[Zilog Z-8]] microprocessor that, according to the manual, ''processes data in parallel with Z80 CPU processing at baud rates above 19.2 kbit/s''.

The manual says:
<blockquote>
The 835 and 836 Data Communications Analyzers are portable instruments used for monitoring, analyzing, testing and troubleshooting data communications interfaces that conform to EIA standard RS-232-C or CCITT V.24. The Option 04 version permits testing of the MIL-STD 188-C interface as well.
The 835/ 836 can operate as:
* A serial data transmission monitor
* A Data Communications Equipment (DCE) or modem simulator for testing data terminal equipment
* A Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) simulator for testing data communications equipment
* A Bit and Block Error Rate Tester (BERT)
The 835/836 offers baud rate settings ranging from 50 to 144,000 bits / second (above 19,200 on 836 only), buffer storage capacity of 4451 characters, a 16 - character alphanumeric display and easy-to-use keyboard.
</blockquote>
