How to handle 2 power meters with different output

I have two bikes with power meter, one with Stages2 and one with Cyclops.

They record totally different Watt, so it's okay to compare rides on same bike but not between them.

Is it possible (now or in future releases) to link

CP, W' and PMax to the Equipment field?

Take a look at the thread
"Keeping TSS consistent when using multiple power meters"
(and others) in the GC archives.

Thx for tips, but that's a sort a workaround if you quiet sure about the difference - and which one is correct. You can then adjust it by a value or percentage.

But in this case, I don't know the difference, and it is that easy to find the difference either - especially if you take into consideration that not consistent calibration, the power meters are on two different bikes etc..

Agree that it would have worked if they had been on the same bike and consistent difference for each ride.

Both CP and FTP can be overridden at activity level, additionally you could use linked defaults to set them automatically based on the Equipment field value, that would help with PMC related metrics, for other analysis you can filter activities using the Equipment field to maintain pears and apples separated.

W' can be overridden at activity level too, so W'bal analysis should work for each independently.
