Hi!
That is a very broad question but it is great that you have the hardware and are interested in running some tests! I attached a few links below that discuss some RF fundamentals, case studies, and web casts on different tests you can perform with different hardware. I would recommend to review these to see if anything sounds interesting.

Also, when you are working with this hardware, make sure to reference the getting started guide for using your hardware. You will be using the RFSG (Signal Generator) or RFSA (signal analyzer) driver to control the hardware.
