Problems reading balance from Van Rysel 500 cyclocomputer FIT file

[José Luis García Pallero]

Hello all:

Attached I send a FIT file logged by a Van Rysel 500 cyclocomputer. The power meter is a Favero Assioma DUO. As it can be seen, the torque effectiveness and smoothness are stored in the file, but the balance does not appear. I know that balance is present because I can see reading the file in R with  FITfileR (https://github.com/grimbough/FITfileR).

I suppose the problem is in how Van Rysel writes the FIT file (there is not the first time it is demostrated that FIT file reading in GC follows the standard). Has had anyone a similar problem?

The likely cause is how they are encoding the balance field, see https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/issues/4067#issuecomment-965052786
