1. A control device for a welding-type system, the control device comprising:
an input circuit configured to identify a user input during a welding-type operation involving welding-type power, wherein the user input is at least one of an analog signal or an encoded digital signal and is representative of an amount of depression of at least one of a torch trigger or a foot pedal;
a control circuit configured to execute machine readable instructions to determine, during the welding-type operation, a voltage adjustment of the welding-type power and a wire feed speed adjustment based on the user input and according to a specified relationship between a voltage of the welding-type power and a wire feed speed at a command value corresponding to the user input; and
an output circuit configured to output one or more control signals to control a welding-type power supply providing the welding-type power to perform the voltage adjustment and to control a wire feeder to perform the wire feed speed adjustment.
