Hi guys,
Recently I bought a new left-crank arm only power meter to train with. Since this is my first power meter, I got a little bit skeptical on the results of my first couple rides. The power curve shows that my peak power for 1-3 sec is flat out.
Is it normal or is there any possibility that my power meter only records data every 3 seconds?
Your head-unit/watch determines how data is recorded, not the power meter.
Check your device’s settings (smart vs 1s) and change to 1s.

Thank you for the reply,
The smart record function on the head unit was off the entire time, I’m not sure if that was the problem.
There shouldn’t be a problem, as you mentioned that your PM is new.
You can click on the date (26 Mar) to view the activity data (power tab).
Add 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s to view where the max power was recorded on the ride.
