Abstract

The invention describes a method of controlling and/or regulating a welding process, whereby, when an arc (15) has been ignited, a set welding process based on several different welding parameters is run. The welding process is controlled and/or regulated by a control system (4) and/or a welding current source (2). The welding apparatus (1) is switched during the welding process and is switched in particular between operating states and/or functions and/or operating modes and/or welding parameters and/or welding programmes by means of a defined movement of the welding torch.
