Graphical user interface for selecting pulse parameters in a phacoemulsification surgical system

A user interface for a phacoemulsification surgical system that generates pulses having an on-time and an off-time, the pulses being adjusted in response to a controller based on settings displayed on a display screen, the user interface comprising:

• a first display element that includes a representation of the on-time relative to a position of the foot pedal, wherein at least three on-time representations are sequentially displayed in the first display element by touching the display screen at the first display element to scroll through the at least three on-time representations, the on-time representation that is displayed in the first display element being the selected on-time representation;
• and
• a second display element that includes a representation of the off-time relative to a position of the foot pedal, wherein at least three off-time representations are sequentially displayed in the second display element by touching the display screen at the second display element to scroll through the at least three off-time representations, the off-time representation that is displayed in the second display element being the selected off-time representation,
• the on-time and off-time representations being selected to generate pulses in a desired mode.

A user interface for a phacoemulsification surgical system that generates pulses having an on-time and an off-time, the pulses being adjusted in response to a foot pedal and based on settings in a user interface displayed on a display screen, the user interface comprising:

• a first display element that includes a linear representation of the on-time of pulses generated by the phacoemulsification system relative to a position of the foot pedal, wherein the on-time representation is a decreasing linear or non-linear representation, a horizontal representation, or an increasing linear or non-linear representation, wherein at least three on-time representations are sequentially displayed in the first display element by touching the display screen at the first display element to scroll through the at least three on-time representations, the on-time representation that is displayed in the first display element being the selected on-time representation;
• an on-time value that is displayed with the first display element and that indicates a value of the on-time of the pulses, wherein the on-time representation is displayed in the background relative to the on-time value;
• a second display element that includes a representation of the off-time of pulses generated by the phacoemulsification system relative to a position of the foot pedal, wherein the linear off-time representation is a decreasing linear or non-linear representation, a horizontal representation, or an increasing linear or non-linear representation, wherein at least three off-time representations are sequentially displayed in the second display element by touching the display screen at the second display element to scroll through the at least three off-time representations, the off-time representation that is displayed in the second display element being the selected off-time representation;
• and
• an off-time value display that indicates a value of the off-time of the pulses, wherein the off-time value display appears within the second display element and the off-time representation is displayed in the background relative to the off-time value,
• the on-time and off-time representations being selected to generate pulses in a desired mode.
