Sounds to me like a protocol analyzer. Typically used to watch both sides of
a conversation unobtrusively. The ones I worked with were for RS232 serial
data. Very useful for debugging communications programs. The link appears to
be broken though.

Subject: Atlantic Research Corp. "Interview 40B"
Can anyone identify the purpose of an Atlantic
Research Corportation
(ARC) Interview 40B Data Analyzer? c. 1984.
Is this a tester for cable, modem, printer, output or pin outs?
Anyone have a manual? It appears to work, in that it powers up and
you can get to the menu I have reproducted below. Here is a picture
I found on the internet. http://www.torontosurplus.com/air/DATA2997.

Here is the menu:
