need some TAIG help

forgive me if I ask some stupid questions guys, but I'm new to
setting up CNC's, I figured I'd start with something easy and got a
TAIG, but the lack of literature on the subject is making things
difficult.
To start, can I get someone to help me out and post a program using
arcs, so that I can confirm that my post processor is translating
correctly?
secondly, is a TAIG capable of taking a program complete? or do I
need to drip feed it? Assuming I need to drip feed it, I can use an
FTP program to do this yes? So long as I'm using an FTP program to
drip feed pre-programmed code, I should be able to generate the code
on my workstation, and drip feed the mill from an old laptop or
similar, I believe I've got a 400mhz machine kicking around somewhere
that should be more than up to the task of uploading lines of code.
Lastly (for now), is it correct that I need to set it up to not use
any reference points, but to use only G1 move commands, and zero the
workpiece manually?
Again, apologies if some of these questions are fairly rudimentary,
and thanks in advanced for all the help.
