Assignee: ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC.
Field: Control (Instruments)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 16:
17. 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;
control circuitry configured to, when not set to a preconfigured state, enter the preconfigured state in response to a first input via the first input device,
wherein the control circuitry is configured to, upon entering the preconfigured state:
control the output device to turn on a visual indication to indicate that the welding-type power source is set to the 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; and
the control circuitry is configured to, when set to the preconfigured state, exit the preconfigured state in response to a second input via the first input device,

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, and
wherein the control circuitry is configured to, upon exiting the preconfigured state, control the output device to turn off the visual indication to indicate that the welding-type power source is not set to the preconfigured state.
