a class to control communication with the Rex experimental control system
A derived class of StimulusListener to support comunication with the Rex experimental control system, which is a standard tool in electrophysiology labs. This system is designed to recieve UPD packets from Rex that indicate the stimulus to be drawn. The packets contain 1 byte for the stimulus primitive type (e.g. circle), and several bytes for the stimulus parameters (e.g. size, color).

set the host name
If set the listener will only accept packets from a specific host. Additionally, messages will be sent specifically to this host. If no host is set packets will be accepted by anyone, and status messages will be sent back to the last sender (Not gaurnteed on all systems). In most cases the host should be set to avoid problems with some systems not supplying the packet senders address and erroring on sendMessage() and sendOK()
