Abstract

An electronic firing system may include a first firing circuit and a second firing circuit. A detection system operatively associated with the first and second firing circuits detects whether a device to be fired is connected one of the first and second firing circuits. The electronic firing system actuates either of said first and second firing circuits to which is connected the device to be fired.
