If not, you can seed your starting signature on XO (xertonline.com) by entering 2-3 known values under Power Curve & Calculator on sidebar menu.
Or you can adjust your calculated signature by reviewing details for a recent activity, select Advanced MPA tab, change the signature entry at bottom, then Save/Lock which means use that signature moving forward.
