Deleted the rest because I didn't bother to read the part about "not left/right".

We use two pairs of power pedals, both read L and R. Stoker has an extra watch mounted on the bars to read the captain’s hr, with a different watch it would also be possible to read the captain’s power. This setup has worked great to better gage our efforts and timing of our pedaling.

Thanks all.
I've done this with two computers, 1 Roam & 1 Bolt... but I was really hoping you Tandem Guys & Gals had an Ace up your sleeve.
OK - 2 computers it is then.
Thanks

I am pretty sure that both DC Rainmaker and GP Lama use different computers for simultaneous power meters. Perhaps the FIT file taxonomy does not support it, or for other reasons they may have when capturing data.
Should be simple enough is to see if you can simultaneously pair to two power meters and record an activity.
