Specfiying timeout value when creating new session

I am trying to create an IIviSession object using the GlobalResourceManager's Open method using the .NET IVI API.

One of the parameters to the method is a timeout value in milliseconds. My assumption is that the method would throw a timeout exception if it's not able to create a session within the specified timeout value. However, the method always takes around 15s before throwing an exception, regardless of the timeout value passed to the method.

I have been unable to find documentation for the class. Any ideas on how to specify a timeout when creating new sessions? Thanks.
