The '''Tektronix 834''' is a portable "programmable data communications tester" (serial protocol analyzer) for RS-232 (V.24) circuits, introduced in 1980. | |||
The [[835]] and [[836]] are sister models with extra features, introduced in 1986. | |||
[[John Light]] was the software lead on the 834 and wrote some of the key parts of the software. | |||
Other software team members included [[Jeff McMeekin]], [[Randy Deitrich]] and [[Bill Randle]]. | |||
On the hardware side was Pete J, and [[Lynn Saunders]]. | |||
[[Wendell Damm]] was the enginering project manager. | |||
