Claim 10:
11. A welding-type power source, comprising:
power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power;
a user interface comprising a first input device, a second input device, and an output device; and
control circuitry configured to, in response to a first input via the first input device:
control the output device to turn on a visual indication to indicate that the welding-type power source is set to a preconfigured state;
set a plurality of welding-type parameters to a respective plurality of predetermined values, wherein the predetermined values cannot be changed; and
control the power conversion circuitry based on the predetermined values,
wherein the control circuitry is configured to set a welding current to a value indicated by the second input device when there is an input from the second input device while set to the preconfigured state,
wherein the control circuitry is further configured to, while set to the preconfigured state, set the welding current to:
a default value when a default welding current has not been changed and when there is not an input from the second input device, and
a stored value when the default welding current has been changed previously via the second input device.
