Looking at the libraries it appears that directed advertising is not supported:

/**************************************************************************/
ble_error_t nRF5xGap::startAdvertising(const GapAdvertisingParams &params)
{
    /* Make sure we support the advertising type */
    if (params.getAdvertisingType() == GapAdvertisingParams::ADV_CONNECTABLE_DIRECTED) {
        /* ToDo: This requires a propery security implementation, etc. */
        return BLE_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED;
    }

As an alternative you can use the white list feature, and only add the address of the device you want to connect to in the white list.

For questions regarding the ReadBearLab libraries you can also use their own forum:

Do you have a link to the BLE libraries you are using?

I can't seem to find that function in the Sandeed BLE library.
