Abstract: Welding-type systems and user interfaces having a color display for displaying physical setup instructions are disclosed. Example interface devices include a process selection input device, a display device, a memory, and a processor. The memory stores weld connection setup graphics and physical welding connections. Each of the plurality of weld connection setup graphics is a graphic of a perspective view of a power supply. The processor, in response to identifying a selected welding process type via the welding process selection input device, displays one of the plurality of the weld connection setup graphics via the display device. The processor detects a physical welding connection made at the power supply, determines, based on the detected physical welding connection, that the detected physical welding connection is incorrect for the selected welding process type, and displays an alert on the display device to indicate an error in the detected physical welding connection.
