Abstract
A surgical instrument is disclosed including an end effector configurable between an open state and a clamped state, a manually-driveable closure system, a motor-powered firing system configured to drive a firing member, and a control system. The control system is configured to detect the end effector reaching an initial clamped state and initiate a time; detect the end effector transitioning away from the initial clamped state; 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; detect an actuation of the motor-powered firing system; set a firing motion parameter of the motor-powered firing system based on the elapsed time of the timer; and drive the firing member through a firing stroke with the motor-powered firing system using the firing motion parameter.
