Selecting one of the "properties" items in a plot's context menu will display these properties in the "Properties" Window. If you can't see this window, you may have to go to View / System / Properties in the main menu (or alternatively press Ctrl-W, P). See also the User Guide.
For displaying a unit on for instance the Y axis, go to the "Axes properties" and then to Left / Title, and set Text to a string that includes the unit.
