The Instrument Handle is used to identify the unique
session or communication channel between the driver
and the instrument. If more than one instrument of the
model type is used, this will be used to differentiate
between them. Note that the initialize function may be
used to associate multiple instrument handles with a
single instrument.

VI_SUCCESS, otherwise it will return an error code. Passing the error code into the function
"ri3156B_error_message()" will return a string describing the error.
