Adaptive firing control algorithm based on mechanical actuation of user controls

A surgical instrument, comprising:

• an end effector configurable between an open state and a clamped state, wherein the end effector comprises:
• a first jaw;
• a second jaw moveable relative to the first jaw;
• and
• a staple cartridge comprising staples removably stored therein;
• a firing member movable from an unfired position toward a fired position during a firing stroke, wherein the staples are deployable from the staple cartridge based on the firing member moving toward the fired position;
• a manually-driveable closure system configured to transition the end effector between the open state and the clamped state;
• a motor-powered firing system comprising a motor, wherein the motor-powered firing system is configured to drive the firing member through the firing stroke;
• and
• a control system comprising a timer, wherein the control system is configured to:
• detect the end effector reaching an initial clamped state with the manually-drivable closure system;
• initiate the timer based on the end effector reaching the initial clamped state;
• detect the end effector transitioning away from the initial clamped state after initiating the timer;
• maintain the timer, based on the end effector failing to transition a threshold amount away from the initial clamped state;
• detect the end effector reaching a second clamped state after failing to transition the threshold amount away from the clamped state;
• detect an actuation of the motor-powered firing system after detecting the end effector reaching the second clamped state;
• set a firing motion parameter of the motor-powered firing system based on an elapsed time from the initiation of the timer to the actuation of the motor-powered firing system;
• and
• drive the firing member through a firing stroke with the motor-powered firing system using the firing motion parameter.
