Abstract
A method for adjusting multiple settings of a welding power supply is provided. The method includes providing a plurality of selectable identifiers. Each selectable identifier corresponds to a plurality of user adjustable welding power supply settings. The method also includes receiving an indication to select one of the plurality of selectable identifiers. The method includes adjusting the plurality of user adjustable welding power supply settings that correspond to the received indication.
Claims7
A method for adjusting multiple settings of a power supply, the method comprising:
- automatically determining, via control circuitry of the power supply and at least one of a network interface of the power supply or a global positioning system (GPS) device of the power supply a physical location in which the power supply is located, and wherein the control circuitry automatically determines the physical location based on at least one of an Internet Protocol (IP) address received by the control circuitry from the network interface or a position received by the control circuitry from the GPS device;
- automatically determining, via the control circuitry of the power supply, one of a country, a language, or an organization that corresponds to the determined physical location;
- selecting, via the control circuitry of the power supply, a first identifier of a plurality of identifiers, wherein each of the plurality of identifiers corresponds to a plurality of power supply settings, and wherein the first identifier is automatically selected based on the determined country, language, or organization that corresponds to the determined physical location;
- and
- automatically adjusting, via the control circuitry of the power supply, the plurality of power supply settings that correspond to the first identifier, wherein the power supply is a welding power supply, a plasma cutting power supply, or an induction heating power supply.
A method to configure a system, the method comprising:
- determining automatically, via control circuitry of the system and at least one of a network interface of the system or a global positioning system (GPS) device of the system, a geographical location at which the system is located, wherein the control circuitry automatically determines the geographic location based on at least one of an Internet Protocol (IP) address received by the control circuitry from the network interface or a position received by the control circuitry from the GPS device;
- automatically selecting, via the control circuitry of the system, a first identifier of a plurality of identifiers based on the determined geographic location at which system is located, wherein each of the plurality of identifiers corresponds to 1) one of a country, a language, or an organization, and 2) and a plurality of settings of the system;
- and
- automatically adjusting, via the control circuitry of the system, the plurality of settings that correspond to the first identifier;
- wherein the system is one of a welding system, a plasma cutting system, or an induction heating system, the method comprising.
