Abstract
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 welding unit ( ) and the current source ( ) are then activated by the control device ( ) in accordance with the predetermined welding parameters, different desired values being stored in a memory device for the different welding parameters. The desired values for at least one welding parameter of a welding method are stored in the memory device for the minimum and maximum values in the form of a minimum and maximum curve and when a welding parameter falling between the minimum and maximum values or curves is retrieved or set, the control device ( ) determines the other desired values of the other welding parameters of this welding process by means of a computing method, in particular by means of an interpolation calculation.
