DME VISUAL

You are confusing DME from the VOR/DME receiver and DME from the ILS receiver. Different aerials, different radios, though some systems are multiplexed so the same radios are used for different sources (e.g. one DME receiver used for both DME and ILS functions).

 

Many aircraft display the ILS DME data in a different location to the DME stations. The B757/767 is one exception with EFIS that I know of however where the ILS data is diuspkayed in the position of DME1, however the presentation is different as it is prefixed L for Landing System (e.g. instead of 12.0 it reads L12.0 for ILS DME).

I'm not quite sure you got what I was trying to say.

The PMDG 737 NGX show DME info on the ND AND PFD once you have an ILS tuned. This is WRONG according to me. You should only have the DME info on the PFD with an ILS tuned in the 737-NG. At least that is what we have in our company. Double checked in my FCOM, however, my FCOM's are company specific and I cannot answer if you could get the 737 from Boeing with an another option.
