Abstract
Disclosed example power supplies, user interfaces, and methods are provided for intuitive or automatic control of welding parameter output ranges. The disclosed systems and methods provide tools for setup of configurable and/or default settings for a welding power source and/or wire feeder. Weld settings include upper and lower limits for an operating range corresponding to one or more welding parameters, such that a welding parameter value is bound by the upper and lower limits during a welding operation. In some examples, the operating range, and the corresponding upper and lower limits, are calculated or determined based on a selected range tolerance.
