Multi-function timers offer multiple timing modes (e.g., on-delay, off-delay, interval) selected via switches. They are used in industrial setups where different timing functions may be needed. These timers are triggered by power or input signals, not clock time.
Digital timers use a clock and allow exact time-of-day programming. You can set them to turn devices on/off at specific times, daily or weekly. They often include LCD screens, backup batteries, and advanced features like random mode or holiday scheduling.
Choose a multi-function timer if you need flexible event-driven functions. Choose a digital timer if you want precise scheduling (e.g., lights on at 7 PM). Each has its place depending on the application.
