{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify Functionality

Allow the aircraft and sensor to fully boot. Once the aircraft has achieved a 3D satellite fix the sensor will start a session and the light on the sensor will turn green.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The aircraft may need to be taken outside to obtain a GPS fix depending on your environment.
{% endhint %}

Other functionalities that can be checked:

* **Gimbal Steering:** Use the rocker wheel on the left side of the controller to change the pitch angle of the gimbal
* **Camera Triggering:** Use the physical image capture button to test the image capture. The lights on the camera will flash white. This can also be done with the on screen button in the video window.

{% hint style="danger" %}
The 6X does not support live video. The video window still hosts the camera interface menus.&#x20;
