    requesting the user to input additional information necessary for performing a selected measurement;

    determining whether the current status of said base station is suitable for performance measurement using said measurement apparatus;

    ending said performance measurement if the current status of said base station is not suitable for performance measurement;

    saving the current status of said base station if the current status of said base station is suitable for performance measurement;

    selecting one of said measurements after said saving step and initializing said base station to enable the selected measurement to be performed by said measurement apparatus;

    confirming whether the initialization of said base station is successfully completed;

    returning to said initializing step, if the initialization of said base station is not successfully completed;

    initializing said measurement apparatus to take the selected measurement and then executing said measurement, once the initialization of said base station is successfully completed;

    reporting the results of said measurement and reference on said selected measurement to the user and waiting for the user'"'"'s instruction;

    re-controlling and re-measuring said base station, if the user requests a re-measurement because the results of measurement do not correlate with the reference; and
