There is specific software for that, from Lost Boys, CPS Light.

The DGT Board stores the last say 500 moves in EEPROM. it's a simple
E2-E4 D7-D5 E4-D5 D8-D5 B1-C3 format.

The DGT-board comes with a utility, Queen, which can perform this EEPROM
download from the board.

However the pricey CPS Light software from Lost Boys might have this option.
Visit both Bob Pawlak's pages http://hometown.aol.com/rjpawlak/ch_widow.html for
a thorough review and of course the http://www.dgtprojects.com for more info.
Also a review at my website, but not regarding this issue.
