String specifying the serial device's baud rate, parity, data bit, and stop bit attributes. It is composed of four settings and has the following format: "BBBB,P,D,S", where BBBB is the baud rate, P is the parity, D is the number of data bits, and S is the number of stop bits. If this parameter is an empty string or omitted, the following settings will be used: "9600, N, 8, 1".
