The "Multidevice" API functions provide similar functionality to the "Traditional" API functions. However, some of the "multidevice" functions can be performed on multiple devices simultaneously. For example, SendList() can be used to write a message to multiple devices. Such functions take an array of Addr4882_t as an argument. The end of the array is specified by setting the last element to the constant NOADDR.
