SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PAIRING WELDING DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for pairing welding devices comprising:
- sending a pairing request from a first welding device to a second welding device;
receiving, at the first welding device, a response to the pairing request from the second welding device, wherein the second welding device is physically connected to the first welding device, and wherein the pairing request or the response comprises a change in welding power, welding consumables, or any combination thereof; and
pairing the first welding device and the second welding device after the first welding device receives the response to the pairing request from the second welding device.
