Nothing fancy here. If you don't have a biscuit joiner but have wanted to use biscuits for joinery, then the fluting toolpath can be used to cut arc'ed pockets for them.
I started with a #0 biscuit as that is all I had on hand. This is centered on 0,0 and I simply zero out my bit where I want a slot and let it cut. You'll have to rotate the file and save out the recalculated tool paths again if you want the slot cut at a different angle.
Let me know if you have any questions. I've tested this with my #0 biscuits and the fit is good. Tightens up with glue. 1/8" end mill used. You can probably increase the pass depth to make it cut quicker. I always start conservatively.
EDIT: And for side cut slots when you don't have any way to camp your board on edge to make this cut, a slot cutting bit such as this one and some clever toolpathing can cut those.:http://www.amazon.com/Yonico-14183-Bisc ... cutter+bit
Just like to add that any size of biscuit can be tool pathed, and for that matter any domino or dowel can as well. You have a CNC, and with some thought it can eliminate the need to buy any other of the machines you would need to cut Biscuit slots or Domino slots or dowels of any diameter.
