VL53L5CX How to get initial collected data but not a normal distribution?

Bryce

I purchased a  P-NUCLEO-53L5A1 kit and successfully used it to collect data for depth estimation with the help of Quick start guide. But I have noticed that if I used STSW-IMG024, GUI for L5, to get collected data, I would receive a .csv document and it is shown like this:

As I know, from some papers that describe principle of TOF sensors, raw data collected by L5 can be arranged as a HISTOGRAM with 100 bins. So how can I get this HISTOGRAM data (or depth data of each bin) but not just a sigma and median from a fitted normal distribution?

CNH Histogram bin data is a linear measure of the returned VCSEL light received within each histogram bin time period. The values are the result of accumulating data over a very large number of VCSEL signal pulses as determined by the configured integration period.  

Ambient light level is continuously monitored during the integration period and is removed from the raw histogram bins before the data is passed to the user as CNH data. This means that bins in which no VCSEL return signal was received will have a value very close to zero (but it can be slightly negative due to noise).
