Bidirectional is typically used to indicate that a particular parameter such as an electrical signal or measurement range will generate values in both the positive and the negative direction.
For example a sensor which has a -10 mbar to + 10 mbar gauge pressure range with a 0 to 10 Vdc output is said to have a bidirectional pressure range.
