Ping ultrasonic sensor

I would like to use a Parallax Ping ultrasonic sensor with an SBL2360T motor controller. I haven't seen any documentation that this is possible but reading a pulse length definitely is. A trigger pulse (approx 5 us) must be sent to the output pin of the Ping sensor to initiate a reading. Is it possible to send this from a pulse input pin and then read the duration of the pulse received back from the Ping sensor? Are there any examples of doing something similar to this in MicroBasic (or otherwise)? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I should have made that clearer. The ping ultrasonic sensor needs a short pulse (typically 5us) to trigger a reading. It then sends back a pulse (750uS later) on the same signal line, the length of which corresponds to the distance the sensor measures.  I know the pulse pins on the RIOX can be configured to operate with ultrasound ping sensors (I presume the Riox pulse pins must generate a trigger pulse to send to the Ping sensor) and I was wondering if is possible for a  motorcontroller to do the same. Perhaps I need to connect the signal pin of the Ping sensor to a pulse pin and an output pin on the motorcontroller?

Thank you for any advice you can provide 

Thanks for looking into this George. I really appreciate it
The documentation for the sensor is attached and there are more resource here (www.pololu.com/product/1605/resources) 
From looking over the documentation I don't think the length of the trigger pulse is critical as its the transition from high to low that triggers the sensor. I'm not sure if that would make it any easier.

In my application, I will also have a RIOX on the platform so if this is difficult its better that I just use that as it seems to have a specific setting for it. I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but hopefully next week. I just wanted to connect the Ping sensor to the motor controller directly if possible as it seems a more elegant solution.

Sorry that didn't attach
