1. 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 the user interface displayed on a display screen, the user interface comprising:

  • a first display element comprising a representation of the on-time of the pulses generated by the phacoemulsification surgical system relative to a position of the foot pedal, wherein the representation of the on-time of the pulses is a decreasing linear representation, a decreasing non-linear representation, a horizontal representation, an increasing linear representation, or an increasing non-linear representation, and wherein each representation of the on-time of the pulses is sequentially displayed in a menu in response to touching of the display screen at the first display element;

    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 representation of the on-time of the pulses is displayed in a background relative to the on-time value;

    a second display element comprising a representation of the off-time of the pulses generated by the phacoemulsification surgical system relative to a position of the foot pedal, wherein the representation of the off-time of the pulses is a decreasing linear representation, a decreasing non-linear representation, a horizontal representation, an increasing linear representation, or an increasing non-linear representation, and wherein each representation of the off-time of the pulses is sequentially displayed in a menu in response to touching the display screen at the second display element; and

    an off-time value display that is displayed with the second display element and that indicates a value of the off-time of the pulses, wherein the representation of the off- time value display appears within the second display element and the representation of the off-time of the pulses is displayed in a background relative to the off-time value.
