Question on Ping sensor

Is there a way to separate the start·& echo time pulses? I can't seem to find a complete schematic for the module.
Thanks!

    It's a proprietary design, driven by a microcontroller. The transmission and detection of the echo are all done internally in the microcontroller on the PING))) module and the start & echo time pulses are not separated on the module. The ICs on the module include the SX28 controller, an op-amp for conditioning the received U/S, and what I think is the driver for the U/S emitter.
