Need for "Check Calibration"?

Hi, After a couple of rides, the Powerpod seems to behave as expected except that ibike is showing only head winds on the graphs with NP in a 150-175 range. I wonder if I need to proceed with a "check calibration", which would increase the power stats. Could you please advise?
Also, since I spent most of time cycling around a 3.5km track, I would like to know if it makes sense to only select a few "clean" loops ("keep selection" in ibike) before doing the "check calibration".
Below the statistics and the GPS tracks on Garmin Connect:

I have also uploaded the ibr files.

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Regards

Fabien

I adjusted your profile so that wind speed would be similar to bike speed.

Load this profile into your PP and you will get better results.

Many thanks for this. Did ride my bike tis morning on the same loop. Head and tail winds look much more balanced.
I am generally impressed by the technology and the physics behind the product. There is clearly a small learning curve with the Powerpod and ibike.
To better understand the parameters, I would be interested to know what changes you have done to get to this new profile?

Thanks again for your help!

I used the "Analyze/Check Calibration.." feature in Isaac.

Hi, following our discussion last year, I have used the profile that you sent me back with great success and reliability.
Recently I had to send back my Powerpod to replace the case since it was cracked. Your customer service is great and it was repaired switfly.
I am still using the same profile but my power results now seem to be approximately 15% higher than they used to be (on the same itinary). See attached files.

What would be your recommendation?
