If the sensor operates with the ILD1401 data protocol, the measurement value is a 12 bit word, e.g. the
bits D12 and D13 are 0.
Replies with a length of 4 Bytes must be swapped according to the following rule:
Reception:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Conversion:
3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4
This rule does not apply to values.
