SPI_Master : Expecting same result in SPI Mode 0 and 3 but it differs

Question

In the sensor datasheet it says one can use SPI_Mode 0 or 3 (doesn't say that there is anything to do to switch between them). 
 I connected MISO from the DK with SDO from the Sensor and MOSI with SDI 
 
 I tried all 4 CPHA/CPOL combinations and 2 should give me the same result.. but they all differ! (Of course I chose a coefficient that should be constant (and with no change in spi mode but just resetting to get the result again it is.). 
 RX from left to right: reset-command, prom-read-command 0xA6, prom read results 
 ActiveLow + Trailing : FE FE 92 93 
ActiveLow + Leading : FF FF C9 49 
ActiveHigh + Leading : FE FE FE C8 
ActiveHigh + Trailing : FF FE FE 87
 
 What am I missing? I used the ble_uart example and added SPI.
Of course I tried other speeds too. 
 Maybe someone with a 100% working SPI Slave could flash, just edit the command and test if the code works?

Of course I made a list of possible combinations from everything I could imagine... spi modes, speeds, commands, sending 1/2/3 bytes at once.. and nothing seemed to work. 
 But I just tried it again now with 3bytes at once (prom read command + 2byte read) and this time I got the same results!!! I really don't know what my sleepy mind missed yesterday evening but I will forgive him if it finally works now! ActiveLow+Trailing or High+Leading. Gonna test it some more now.. 
 Seem to work so far. 
 Conclusion: This sensor ( MS5803 ) is not as cool with getting deselected in between reading command and the reading itself as i thought... 
 This sentence of the datasheet had me confused: 
 
 The CSB pin can be pulled high after
the command is sent or after the end
of the command execution (for example
end of conversion) 
 
 I am still wondering if the reset command in the beginning actually works if I pull CSB high and then wait 3ms and not the other way around.
