DME = Distance Measuring Equipment
Flashing legend "DME" in red on an A320 PFD's means that DME is not available.
Did I understand you correctly?

It's possible it stands for Durable Medical Equipment, US technical Specs which cover emergency equipment, which a DME torch is.

I was refering to emergency equipment but thanks for the input.
I think DME is just a trade name, Thank you all.
