Mine has three sections DC on left, AC on right, Ohms on bottom. The DC and AC sections have settings for different voltage or amperage readings. I also have a sliding switch to indicate whether I am reading resistance or checking continuity. If checking continuity there is an audible alarm if continuity is confirmed. This is great when working in tight spaces where eyeballing a meter is hard.
The link in the previous post was supposed to be a graphic of multimeter symbols.
