 ### Reading ADC input
 
-ADC input data is provided in reports. Query for the latest report with the command `report`. See the *Reports* section below.
+Set report mode to `on` for a continuous stream of input data.

 When using a TEC module with the Thermostat, the Thermostat expects the thermal load (where the thermistor is located) to cool down with a positive software current set point, and heat up with a negative current set point.
 
-If the Thermostat is used for temperature control with the Sinara 5432 DAC "Zotino", and is connected via an IDC cable, the TEC polarity may need to be reversed with the `pwm <ch> polarity reversed` TCP command.
-
 Testing heat flow direction with a low set current is recommended before installation of the TEC module.
