...all test equipment drifts with time.
Some caps get funny (i'm thinking of the internal ones...)
when not powered up.  Might be that effect accounts for
the 'initial 10 minutes'.

Having done some thermal testing, i can assure that
it can easily take 15 minutes for modern equipment to
fully stabilize in temperature.
(readings can be had earlier, they improve with time...)
