Unused features

The dev board has been developed to also support other sensors than the Pulse-20. It contains multiple features that are not usable with the Pulse-20 and are not documented. 

The dev board also mentions Port E due to compatibility with legacy products. The Port E on the dev board is the same as the Port B in the Pulse-20.
