Wattage difference between TrainingPeaks Virtual and Garmin Edge 840
Hello,
today i had my first Workout at TrainingPeaks Virtual. I choosen my Quarq Powermeter via ANT+ and track the Workout in the same time with my Gamin Edge 840. The overall Wattage is nearly the same, but when i compared the peak power per time, there are high differences. If you want, take a look at the Data, powered by DC Rainmaker Analyser:

i hope it helps

Hi Michael - many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
The power data displayed (and written out to FIT files) in TrainingPeaks Virtual is just the raw data being transmitted from your powermeter - there's no filtering or interpretation etc of the values. If TPV says you're doing 200 Watts, then it's because your powermeter has told TPV that you're doing 200 Watts.
As such, any discrepancy between multiple recordings is as a result of your powermeter sending different values to different devices.
