Can the Edge 830 connect to two power meters at the same time when riding a tandem?

My wife and I are tandem riders. I currently have an 830 and new Favero dual sided power meter pedals. Can the 830 simultaneously connect to a second pair of power meter pedals?

No is the short answer.

Not the answer I was hoping for but thanks for the reply.

I found this AI answer, which sounds plausible:

"Yes, even if you can only display data from one power meter at a time on your Garmin Edge 830, the device will still record data from a second power meter that is paired with it, meaning all the power data from both sensors will be stored in the activity file on your Garmin Connect account."

The connection logic only allows one device of any given type to be connected at one time.
