Method for closed loop control of motor velocity of a surgical stapling and cutting instrument

A control circuit usable with a surgical instrument comprising a displacement member, a motor configured to translate the displacement member, and a position sensor configured to monitor a position of the displacement member, the control circuit comprising logic configured to:

• provide a motor set point velocity to the motor;
• and
• display a first indicia on a display indicative of the motor set point velocity.

A control circuit usable with a surgical instrument comprising a displacement member, a motor configured to translate the displacement member, and a position sensor configured to monitor a position of the displacement member, the control circuit comprising logic configured to:

• display an image on a display representative of the displacement member;
• and
• display progress of the image representative of the displacement member as the motor translates the displacement member.

A control circuit usable with a surgical instrument comprising a displacement member, a motor configured to translate the displacement member, and a position sensor configured to monitor a position of the displacement member, the control circuit comprising logic configured to:

• provide a motor set point velocity to the motor, wherein the motor set point velocity is configured to cause the motor to drive the displacement member at a velocity, and
• display a status bar on a display that represents an operation status of the surgical instrument.
