the first BB60A found will be opened. If a device cannot be found matching the provided serial number,
the function will return unsuccessful. If a device is opened successfully , a handle to the device will be
returned through the device pointer which can be used to target that device for other API calls.
The function when successful is a blocking call and takes about 3 seconds to finish.
