What this format is

What is kept and what is lost
| Kept | Lost or missing |
|---|---|
| Every record | Values above the cap — they become the cap |
Questions
Are points deleted?
No. Values above the cap become the cap. The rest of each record stays.
Power or heart rate?
Pick one channel per run. Set the max in watts or bpm.
What cap should I use?
Something above your real peak. 1,500 W is a sane default for a meter that wrote a 16-bit overflow.
