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

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?

Hello
It is not possible to read out histogram datas from the VL53L5CX. 

ST just introduced two new products from which you will get the histograms. Please have a look to the VL53L7CH and VL53L8CH products.
