Abstract
Disclosed example power supplies, user interfaces, and methods are provided for simple and intuitive setup for configurable and/or default settings for a welding power source and/or wire feeder. The welding parameters may correspond to a default and/or factory setting that represents empirically adduced values for a particular welding procedure (e.g., based on material type, electrode diameter, welding process and/or tool, etc.). The welding parameters may additionally or alternatively be configured for a particular purpose. Once a configurable setting has been selected, the configurable setting controls the system output. Furthermore, once a configurable set of welding parameters has been established, the operator may return to the default settings by resetting the welding parameters.
