Abstract

Welding systems and programming tools are described, in which a touch screen-based welding system configuration tool is provided having a touch screen display for designing welding power source waveforms or for configuring a system sequence controller, where the touch screen may be integrated into a welding system component. The touch screen displays information related to a switching type welding power source and/or a welding system sequence controller, as well as one or more touch activation indicia to allow a user to numerically or graphically configure the power source or the sequence controller by touching the touch activation indicia.
