OxyScope is about displaying and collecting samples
for up to 4 SimHub properties at a time.

At least for me, evaluating scatter plots while driving is NOT an option.
Instead, using the SimHub button at upper right:
first record some driving, then Replay...

Four properties may be visualized by color-coding based on values of one
and scatter plotting in 3D coordinates based on others.
Intuitively, this works best if color-coded property values depend on others.
Visualizing more than 4 properties is possible, but problematic.
Sample values for 3 nominally "independent" properties
are more likely to fill ellipsoids than boxes.
Supposing that 2% increments suffice for precision,
that amounts to 51 samples along each "independent" property axis,
or a sphere with radius 25 and volume of about 65,500 samples.
Driving a sim car so as to collect so many uniformly distributed samples is unlikely.
Indeed, most samples collected in sequence at 60Hz are nearly redundant,
tracing trajectories.
This clustering issue is mitigated by:

• ignoring successive samples with all "independent" values
  differing by less than 2% of properties' current range.
• at suitable intervals, calculate StdDev for each property,
  then subsequently ignore samples not well beyond.
• ideally, StdDev thresholding should based on radii...

 REPLOT  - button enabled by the next button set to Manual

Manual / Auto Replot

• Manual:  displayed plot remains until  REPLOT  is selected
• Auto:  plots update as new samples are collected

Refresh:  3 second / Cumulative X range / Hold max X range

• 3 second:  all sample sets can be plotted
  Use this e.g. with Auto to search Replay for interesting scatter plots.
• Cumulative X range:  collects sample values with increasing variance
                  of X property as selected by Fit Curves
  Ignores nearly redundant successive samples,
  collecting wider X property value range over longer intervals.
• Hold max X: 3-second sample set with greater range of all X values
  Captures a single 3 second sequence with largest X value range.

Fit Curves

• Disable:  display only scatter plots
• Xprop[0-3]:  adds leasts-squares fit line and monotonic cubic curve,
              for one of up to 3 X-axis properties

Y, X sample set pairs are plotted, based on refresh setting

Some properties affect others, but with delay.
