Port device object

A port object is optional. You only need to make one if you want to change a property from default.‍

An object of type port provides options for a serial port for general I/O use, e.g. by a portSender or portReceiver element. You can have multiple port objects in an experiment. In an experiment script you can make port objects outside trials using function portObject and add them using addToExperiment.
