8.1.7 Write time command

The write time command is sent to the x-IMU3 to write the date and time of the RTC, or sent from the x-IMU3
to the host in response to a read time command. The key is "time" and the value is a string expressing
the date and time in the format "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" where each delimiter can be any non-numerical
character. The x-IMU3 will acknowledge a write time command by sending a write time command back to the
host, indicating the new date and time.
Example:
"time":"2020-01-01 00:00:00" n

8.1.8 Ping command

The ping command is sent to the x-IMU3 to trigger a ping response. The key is "ping" and the value is null.
The x-IMU3 will acknowledge a ping command by sending a ping response to the host.
Example:
"ping":null n

8.1.9 Ping response

The ping response is sent from the x-IMU3 to the host in response to the ping command. The key is "ping"
and the value is a JSON object containing three key/value pairs indicating the communication interface, device
name, and device serial number. The keys are "interface", "deviceName", and "serialNumber", respectively
and all values are string types.
Example*:
"ping":
"interface":
"deviceName":
"serialNumber":
n
* The actual JSON will not include any whitespace.

8.1.10 Reset command

The reset command is sent to the x-IMU3 to reset the x-IMU3. The key is "reset" and the value is null. A reset
is equivalent to switching the x-IMU3 off and then on again. The x-IMU3 will reset two seconds after receiving
this command.
Example:
"reset":null n

8.1.11 Shutdown command

The shutdown command is sent to the x-IMU3 to switch the x-IMU3 off. The key is "shutdown" and the value
is null. The x-IMU3 will shutdown two seconds after receiving this command.
Example:
"shutdown":null n

8.1.12 Strobe command

The strobe command is sent to the x-IMU3 to strobe the LED bright white for 5 seconds. The key is "strobe"
and the value is null. This command can be used to quickly locate a specific x-IMU3 when using multiple
x-IMU3s.
