Multimeter Diode test work as continuity test?

I recently purchased:

Now before anyone jumps on me for not reading up on electronics before creating my own circuit boards...rest easy...I have one purpose only and its a simple one to have the multimeter assist me with a continuity test for testing wires on portable CP wiring.  I have no ambitions beyond CP wiring...no high voltage stuff here!

Now the unit I purchased doesn't seem to have a dedicated continuity test but it does have a diode test.  When I use the diode test to test wires etc I get readings when its the same wire and 0 when it isn't.

Would this in a sense work just like a continuity test?

Generally you want to use the ohms setting for that unless your diode test beeps when you use it.

Okay thanks Peale...the manual is pretty sparce so thought id ask!

Ill try 0hms.
