The invention describes a method of controlling a welding unit ( ) and a current source ( ), in which various welding parameters, such as a welding current, a welding wire diameter, a welding method etc., for example, can be set by a user from an input and/or output device ( ). The set welding parameters are applied to a control device ( ). The welding unit ( ) and the current source ( ) are then activated by the control device ( ) in accordance with the predetermined welding parameters. Prior to, during and/or after start-up of the welding process, the user can set a surface area or a cross section of a weld seam, in particular a fillet weld, from the input and/or output device ( ), after which the control device ( ) scans and/or retrieves and displays desired values for additional parameters needed to form the weld seam and/or for the welding procedure, stored in a memory device in particular.
