in a histogram, the bins contain that number of photons gathered during that clock cycle. And the clock cycle is not adjustable.
But during a 30ms range there are maybe a million flashes of light transmitted. And the numbers are the number of photons received for N clocks after the flash starts.
So with a longer timing budget, the numbers will be larger.
The L5 does not return the histogram data. There is way too much of it. (64 zones x 100+ bins is a lot of data.) So it's all processed on the chip.
