Welcome
Welcome to the TCS WOWDiesel Version 5 closed beta test first round. Thank you for volunteering to try out this new product and provide feedback to engineering team as we try continue to refine the greatest sound decoder on the market.
This page will detail the features that should be specifically tested as well as any specific procedures the product developers would like to perform.

What Changed?
Between Version 4 and Version 5 of the WOWDiesel decoder we have drastically changed the hardware of our WOWSound decoder line. The transition from V4 to V5 means there are fewer chips on each decoder, but more functionality packed into that space. To achieve this we had to rewrite much of the decoder software to function on the new chips. Most of the effects of that change should be invisible to you (as they should "just work" like before), but that is why we need testers to try everything.
