NOTE [2]: Warning.  If the PBIAS option is used with the PUNCH option,          
          MBIAS cards are generated from the PBIAS option.  This means          
          that the original PBIAS cards must be removed from the                
          setup if the MBIAS cards generated by the PUNCH option are            
          used in the next run.                                                 
                                                                                
NOTE [3]: If the measurement type is larger than 99 (3 digit) use               
          the PBIASM card to specify it.

PBIAS (cont)

GEODYN-II BIAS TYPES

The GEODYN-II bias types include all of the GEODYN-II measurement types as well as other types which are independent from measurement type or which are an extension of the simple measurement bias.

At present, the only bias types defined include simple constant measurement biases and simple time biases independent of measurement type. Other future bias types will include linearly varying measurement biases, observation scale biases, tropospheric and ionospheric refraction scale biases, station clock polynomials and satellite clock polynomials.

Bias type numbers are assigned as follows:
