I feel like I ought to get a Victory Medal or something for this.

I now have enough confidence to proceed with installing the same model TSU decoder in the two Intermountain "A" units. Those have a three LED light bar, and I have the necessary resisters to make that work on individual outputs for each LED. Still have a lot to learn about Decoder Pro (particularly using it to program on the main), but at least I now have a working system. I'm hoping for a shallow learning curve on it from this point forward.

- Downloaded and installed production version 5.8 on my laptop. I had version 4.2.24 installed.
- New version requires Java version 17. I had version 8 installed on my laptop.
- Got the correct driver installed for my serial / USB cable.

- In my case, the relationship was not linear. It rose exponentially on the Y axis to 6.99, at a very low X axis value.
- A miracle occurred once I set the connection in JMRI to Serial, and identified my COM port (COM 4). Then the Y axis value went up slightly to 7, with a value of 10 on the X axis.
