You are definitely not alone; what else could SDI mean? Don't panic! And don't forget to take your towel...

Serial Digital Interface ?

Is there a Hitchhiker refernce I have missed?

[Roger Wright]

Not that I know of, just that when dealing with space lasers, I think it's a good idea to keep a towel handy. You never know... :suss:

Sorry, a little contex the widget I was playing with that had the SDI bus which was the cause of the question was a Trinmaic stepper motor control board.

For me SDI stands for Single Document Interface (the opposite of MDI). I blame it on my early days with Delphi.

I associate SDI with the name of a group of small, local convenience stores (long since closed): Super Drive In.

I have a C++/MFC SDI application whose development started in 1999 and I'm still maintaining. It was never a candidate for MDI.

What else does SDI mean? SDI was an excuse to hide all sorts of secret projects and apparently still is.
