1. A welding power supply comprising:
a control panel comprising:
a first input element configured to receive an input relating to a material thickness;a second input element configured to receive a first input to place the welding power supply in a first mode of operation; and control circuitry configured to place the welding power supply in the first mode of operation when the first input is received from the second input element, to determine a coarse wire feed speed when the welding power supply is in the first mode of operation, to receive an input to fine tune the coarse wire feed speed, and to fine tune the coarse wire feed speed based on the received input to fine tune the coarse wire feed speed.
