Normalized Power Shows N/A

I know I read this somewhere before but can't find it. Most of my intervals show n/a for normalized power in wko+ for todays workout. I'm guessing it's because the watts are outside my ranges. How do I fix it so that I get actual numbers to appear. Thanks all.

if i remember correctly, it's not because the wattage is outside of the range, but the interval needs to be longer than 5' for it to show NP.

Thanks Keith. The numbers for the entire workout seem correct anyway. I've seen n/a before in previous intervals but it was just really noticeable today with the 30/30's.

Yup- Keith is right. I don't remember if it's 4' or 5', but either way you won't see NP for 30/30's

Additionally, according to Andrew Coggan, the normalized power numbers for any time frames < 20 minutes should be considered as suspect and probably ignored. He says that his formulas are unable to calculate normalized power numbers < 20 minutes with much confidence in their accuracy.

As the interval gets shorter then NP (normalized power) should be essentially identical to AP (average power) so would just use that number for comparison purposes.
