Powering down K3 using DXLab Commander

I need some help figuring this out; I can do the power down from the
Elecraft Utility (using command "*PS0;*")

In trying to get it to run from Commander, I have done the following
(but no results); other than this, Commander is working fine.

User -defined Command Sequence:
Note: Power Off
Command: PS0;

Unfortunately, hitting Run on the edit screen, or clicking F5 button
produces no results.

Any hints for the befuddled?

Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV

Try the following:

'PS0;

ASCII commands must be prefixed with a single-quote - see

Re: Powering down K3 using DXLab Commander

In reply to this post by David F. Reed-2

The K3/K3S does not have any provision to turn on via the RS-232/USB
interface. When it is powered down the processor is not running so
there is nothing there to interpret commands.

The only way to perform a remote power on is to pull the "power on" line
of the ACC connector to ground for at least 100 msec (K3 Owner's Manual,
page 44). Unfortunately, I do not know that Commander has any provision
to toggle a specific hardware signal in response to a User Defined
Command.

73,
