title: Dynamic simulation using a graphical programming language.
abstract: A power oscillator, suitable for energizing an ultrasonic surgical cutter was simulated using a graphical programming language. The simulation included a model of the amplitude control system as well as the ultrasonic actuator. In addition, those elements which existed in a practical oscillator and were typically obscure to the design requirements were identified, simulated and discussed.
