Switching between DWO and TCPC w/ Generic Haas 5X post

[apeters]

I have MasterCams Generic 5-axis post for haas mills and I'm pretty inexperienced with post processors.  Currently the post processor outputs all of our code to be compatible with DWO (G254).  Is there something in the misc integers/misc real I don't know about to post utilizing TCPC for our simultaneous operations? Or something in the post processor I need to change? Or do I just need to buy a more advanced post?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

On our UMC-500, both DWO and TCPC get triggered automatically in the post. but we have the UMC-500 specific post,.. 

I'm not sure how expensive it is but I imagine it's worth it to just pull the trigger on the post specific for your machine. Even with my UMC-500 specific post I still get issues here and there (hehe I should really get those issues figured out too but sometimes there just isn't enough hours in the day)

It is normal for 3+2 operations to be handled by the DWO/TWP function and any operations containing any rotary motion to be handled by the TCPC function.

I contacted our MasterCam reseller yesterday about purchasing a post our VF2 with a trunnion

Yes the post we have outputs both simultaneous and 3+2 motion as a function of DWO, I'm trying to figure out if I need to change a misc int/real value to trigger TCPC or if I need to just buy a machine specific post

If you look inside the post at all the header info, it should list in there if it is even available with the post you have....

My guess is you probably don't have it with that post.
