This is another crazily matched power graph and it's from the KICKR.
"When you see really smooth lines the person is likely using the Wahoo KICKR or another trainer like it. These trainers can set the power and the person will just pedal to hit that number. So trainerroad tells the KICKR to be at 200 watts and no matter what cadence the person uses, they have to pedal at 200 watts. At least, that is how I understand it. So their lines are always crisp and tight. Here is a Wahoo KICKR Ride I found on the Ride Feed. Notice how they are always right on the line even when their cadence changes? With normal trainers you would see greater ups and downs in power, which is fine. "

So, I would expect similar from Computrainer since it's load is controlled by TR but my power lines are never that smooth. Although I also have an ANT+ dongle connected to my Powermeter so it's possibly recording that and using the CT for ERG load only, although that seems odd.
