Systems and methods for operating a surgical device

A method for operating a surgical device, comprising:

• determining that a switch has transitioned from an off condition, through a first condition corresponding to a first operating mode, to a second condition corresponding to a second operating mode within a first pre-determined time;
• in response to the determination that the switch has transitioned from the off condition through the first condition to the second condition within the first pre-determined time:
• outputting the second operating mode;
• and
• determining whether the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within a second pre-determined time;
• in response to a determination that the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within the second pre-determined time:
• switching from the second operating mode to the first operating mode after expiration of the second pre-determined time;
• and
• in response to a determination that the switch has not transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within the second pre-determined time:
• maintaining the second operating mode after expiration of the second pre-determined time.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a computer-implemented method for operating a surgical device, comprising:

• determining that a switch has transitioned from an off condition, through a first condition corresponding to a first operating mode, to a second condition corresponding to a second operating mode within a first pre-determined time;
• in response to the determination that the switch has transitioned from the off condition through the first condition to the second condition within the first pre-determined time:
• outputting the second operating mode;
• and
• determining whether the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within a second pre-determined time;
• in response to a determination that the switch has transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within the second pre-determined time:
• switching from the second operating mode to the first operating mode after expiration of the second pre-determined time;
• and
• in response to a determination that the switch has not transitioned from the second condition back to the first condition within the second pre-determined time:
• maintaining the second operating mode after expiration of the second pre-determined time.
