What does the upper left corner display on the MCS EHSI?

Explanation:
The upper left corner shows the DME distance to the currently selected ground-based navigation aid. DME (distance measuring equipment) provides how far you are from that station, typically in nautical miles, and the readout updates as you change the station or move. This is distinct from other data like waypoint distance, bearing to a TACAN, or your ground speed, which appear elsewhere on the display.
