Abstract
In certain embodiments, a welding system includes an interface with a first input element configured to receive an input relating to a parameter of power delivered to a welding torch from a welding power supply, a second input element configured to receive an input relating to a rate of advancement of an electrode delivered to the welding torch from a welding wire feeder, a third input element configured to receive an input relating to whether the parameter of power and the rate of advancement of the electrode are automatically set, and a color display device configured to display the parameter of power and the rate of advancement of the electrode. The welding system also includes control circuitry configured to adjust and display on the color display device the parameter of power and the rate of advancement based at least in part on a selected diameter setting for the electrode and a selected material thickness setting for a work piece when the third input element is activated, and to control the parameter of power and the rate of advancement based on the adjustment of the parameter of power and the rate of advancement.
