Using the MPU-6000 in ArduIMU for Free Fall/Motion Detection

Upon reading the datasheet (p. 32) for the MPU-6000, it is said that this MPU has features which can detect free-fall, motion, and no motion, given a threshold value. Being new to Arduino as well as the ArduIMU, I was wondering if anyone has taken advantage these features. I would like to pull this data out, but I am at a loss of how to program this feature in.

Thank you for your time and help.
