I don't know about Ramp Mode. I did have the power display set for 3 second averaging. And it's a wheel-on Smart Trainer with no other power meter. I guess there are too many lags in the system for 20 on/10 off to register properly. Seriously it's "More power! More power! More power! Less Power! Less power! More power! More power!" for the whole time.
