Which data is shown in the upper left corner of the MCS EHSI?

Explanation:
The data in the upper left corner of the MCS EHSI is the DME distance to the currently selected ground-based navigation aid. DME provides how far you are from that VOR/DOR or TACAN station, giving you quick range to the beacon as you navigate. This readout is tied to the navigation aid you have selected, and it changes when you switch targets. The FMS distance to a waypoint is part of the flight plan information shown elsewhere, the bearing to the TACAN isn’t presented in that corner as a distance, and altitude is shown on the altitude readout, not on the EHSI corner.
