There are many ways that the histogram can be customized. If right-clicking on the histogram and selecting Properties opens a Plot Properties dialog which allows for changing many aesthetic properties of the histogram. The Main Display window can also be modified through the Histogram tab. This can be done by left-clicking and dragging from left to right to zoom in over the desired range of data values.

To return to the original data range, use the Reset button button.
