Description
The EstimableDistanceBias object holds information about how distance bias elements of an object's state are handled in the Orbit Determination / State Estimation process. This object is not creatable in script, but estimable distance biases are always created as child objects of the MeasurementBRTSTwoWayRange, MeasurementGroundRange, MeasurementSpacecraftRange, and MeasurementTDRSTwoWayRange objects as seen in the example below:
GroundStation1.Antenna.OD.GroundObservation.Range.Bias.Sigma = 1e-006;
Users cannot create instances of this type of object. However, users can access instances of this object type that have been created indirectly, for example as children of other objects. Users can also access any static properties and methods on this object type.
Inheritance Hierarchy: Object->EstimableProperty->EstimableDistanceBias

Timing Precision Mode
This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.

DeclaredName
|
The name of the object as declared.

The name displayed for this object in output windows such as views, plots, and reports.

ObjectId
|
The unique identifier for the object.

ObjectType
|
The type of the object.

Type: String
Access: Read-Only

ProcessAction
|
Indicates whether the property should be estimated, considered, or ignored in the Orbit Determination process. If this property is part of a Spacecraft, which also has a process noise matrix interface, then changing this value will reinitialize the process noise matrix to a diagonal matrix in the ICRF frame.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
ProcessNoiseRate
|
The amount of process noise per second to be added to the property's covariance with each time-step. If the property is frame dependent, setting this property will set it in the ICRF frame. If the property is part of a Spacecraft, which also has a process noise matrix interface, then setting this value will reinitialize the process noise matrix to a diagonal matrix in the ICRF frame. Alternatively, you can modify the process noise rate for this property by modifying the Spacecraft.OD.ProcessNoise.Matrix property directly, which will leave all other values intact.

ProcessNoise
|
The process noise to be added to the property's covariance with each time-step. The amount of process noise added is scaled by a ratio of the duration of the step taken and the propagator step size.
This property has been Deprecated. ProcessNoise has been replaced by ProcessNoiseRate. To continue using this property, please ensure to set the ProcessNoiseModel property to 'Use ProcessNoise By Step'. The ProcessNoiseModel property can be found on any Sequential Filter object or the Spacecraft OD Properties object.
