Claim 10:
11. A surgical stapling instrument system, comprising:
an electric motor;
a rotatable shaft driveable by said electric motor configured to receive a rotary motion;
an actuator configured to receive a user input;
an elongate shaft;
an articulation joint;
an end effector rotatable relative to said elongate shaft about said articulation joint, wherein said end effector comprises a first jaw and a second jaw, and wherein said second jaw is closable during a closure stroke in response to an actuation of said actuator to compress patient tissue between said first jaw and said second jaw;
a firing driver configured to translate within said end effector during a firing stroke in response to said rotary motion;
a firing lockout that prevents said firing driver from performing said firing stroke when said second jaw is not closed; and
a display that selectively displays:
the progress of said firing driver during said firing stroke; and
a wait time indication associated with a compression of patient tissue between said first jaw and said second jaw, wherein said firing driver comprises a first cam structured to engage said first jaw and a second cam structured to engage said second jaw.
