Power Meter - Calibration Question - Answered

Triathlon Forum

Quick question.

I have power meter pedals. You’re supposed to calibrate before every ride. Where is that calibration/zero offset saved? On the power meter or on the device performing the power meter?

So, if I have multiple devices reading my power meter, do I need to perform the calibration on each device, or, does the power meter push out the correct numbers to all devices once calibrated?

If it’s standard ANT+ or Bluetooth then the power meter pushes out corrected numbers, i.e. whatever calibration correction is needed, is done internally by the pedals and when you command a calibration it figures out new offset parameters based on the current conditions, and stores them internally.

Thanks.
