Systems and methods for a user interface for electronic weaponry

An electronic weapon for providing at least one of a stimulus signal to impede locomotion of the targets and a display, the weapon for cooperating with one or more provided cartridges to provide at least one of the stimulus signal and the display, each cartridge comprising at least two wire-tethered electrodes for launching toward a target to provide the stimulus signal, the electronic weapon comprising:

• a first user-operated control;
• a second user-operated control that, if a selected cartridge is unused, initiates a launch function of the selected cartridge to launch the at least two wire-tethered electrodes;
• and
• a signal generator;
• wherein:
• while the weapon operates in a manual configuration, an operation of the first control for a first duration selects one cartridge of the one or more cartridges as the selected cartridge;
• while the weapon operates in an automatic configuration, an operation of the second control selects a next unused cartridge of the one or more cartridges as the selected cartridge;
• and
• the signal generator:
• responsive to an operation of the first control for a second duration longer than the first duration, provides the stimulus signal via the launched electrodes of any cartridge whose electrodes are launched and provides the display via any unused cartridge;
• and
• responsive to an operation of the second control, provides the stimulus signal via the launched electrodes of the selected cartridge.
