A system for displaying performance characteristics of a circuit in a telecommunications network. The system is adapted for use with a CDMA telecommunications network and includes a Markov call testing system for performance testing the telecommunications circuit. A computer stores the results of the performance test. Software running on the computer determines a subset of the results sufficient to reflect the performance of the telecommunications circuit. A monitor on the computer displays information corresponding to the subset. In the illustrative embodiment, the system further includes a method for determining if one or more receive antennas in the telecommunications network are balanced. The telecommunications circuit corresponds to a cell site modem chip in a base station. The subset includes a number of finger signal peaks. The number is determined by calculations performed on a scan set to determine a floor above which signal peaks are chosen for inclusion in the subset. In the specific embodiment, the subset includes the eight highest signal peaks of a scan set. The scan set corresponds to a set of signal peaks as is provided by a temporal analyzer. In the illustrative embodiment, the display shows finger signal peak data resulting from Markov call testing of a cell site modem chip having one or more fingers. A first field in the display depicts a subset of signal peaks that includes n of the highest signal peaks. A second field illustrates an operational state for each of the fingers.
