After POR the first valid data is available after (depending on the selected refresh rate) )

It is always subpage 0 to be measured first after POR then subpage 1 and so on alternating. 
NOTE: In case one changes the refresh rate on the fly (by writing new values into device register (0x800D)) the settings 
will take place only after the subpage under measurement is finished.

Thermal behavior 
Although electrically the device is set and running there is thermal stabilization time necessary before the device can 
reach the specified accuracy – up to 4 min.
