Note: In the MBEN message, goodbad = 25 and warning = 35 implies Z-tracking
(non-keyed operation). If it is in Y-mode (keyed operation), gotmeas flag will be
24.
PBEN Message
PBEN messages contain position data, including velocity data, DOP values, and
time. PBEN can be output in ASCII or binary format. Table 4.7 and Table 4.8
below outline the contents of the PBEN message in binary and ASCII format.
The structure of the PBEN message in binary format is shown below:
