Welding power supplies and user interfaces for welding power supplies

A welding system, comprising:

• a power source configured to deliver power to a welding torch based on one or more welding parameters;
• a welding wire feeder configured to advance a wire electrode to the welding torch based on the one or more welding parameters, wherein the one or more welding parameters includes a voltage or a wire feed speed;
• an interface comprising:
• a first input device configured to receive an input corresponding to a selection of a default setting and to receive an input corresponding to a configurable setting for the one or more welding parameters;
• a display device configured to display a default indicator in response to selection of a default setting and to display a configurable indicator in response to a selection of a configurable setting;
• a voltage selection knob configured to receive an input relating to the voltage provided to the welding torch;
• a wire feed speed selection knob configured to receive an input relating to the wire feed speed from the welding wire feeder;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• receive an input corresponding to a selection for a configurable setting from the first input device;
• enable the control circuitry to receive an input from the voltage selection knob or the wire feed speed selection knob in response to selection of the configurable setting;
• receive an input corresponding to a change in value for one or more of the voltage or the wire feed speed from the voltage selection knob or the wire feed speed selection knob;
• adjust the value of the voltage or the wire feed speed based on the received change;
• assign the adjusted value of the voltage or the wire feed speed as a preferred welding parameter setting and store the adjusted value in a list of values associated with one or more preferred welding parameters;
• control the power source to deliver power or the welding wire feeder to advance the electrode wire based on the preferred welding parameter setting:
• receive an input corresponding to a selection for a default welding parameter setting from the first input device;
• access the default welding parameter settings from a list of values associated with one or more default welding parameters;
• and
• control the power source to deliver power or the welding wire feeder to advance the electrode wire based on the default welding parameter setting.
