Sorry for resurrecting an old post but I thought I'd share a rather frustrating experience I had trying to set our new DGT 2010 clocks (to 30 moves in 1hr followed by 20 min allegro finish) to save others wasting time on it.
There's a really great video been produced by DGT showing how to set this type of time control. Unfortunately the method the video gives at the end for testing it doesn't work for certain serial nos of this clock. Information on this issue is given on a recent FAQ article on their website. In essence, if you find you need to change the move counter during the first period of play, you'll have to reset the clock because if you just change the move counter then the second time control gets ignored
