   Start a hardware timer when sending the pulse, and set up an interrupt on   
   the input with the return pulse. In the interrupt handler, read the timer   
   value and set a flag for the main routine that the measurement is complete.   
      
   If you add a timer interrupt to periodically send the start pulse, the whole   
   measurement operation runs in parallel to whatever the main program is   
   doing, without blocking anything.
