Different appearance of data in BDFreader and EEGlab

Hi,

I'm quite new to the whole EEG stuff, so perhaps the answer to my question is trivial, but thanks for answering anyway.

I am recording EEG data with the BioSemi Active Two System and ActiView. When I look at the recorded data using the BioSemi BDFreader it looks okay. Each channel's 'track' is more or less centered around the accordingly labeled x-axis. When I import the data into EEGlab (version 8.0.3.5b) the signals are far out of the display range, i.e. far away from the x-axis of the according channel. When I remove the baseline (average) from each channel it gets a little bit better, but still the EEG-tracks are not centered correctly and are not as evenly spaced as with the BDFreader.

Why is that?
Am I doing something wrong?
What do I have to do to get rid of this problem?

I use
- the same reference channel(s)
- the same y-axis scale (100 mV)
- the same x-axis scale, i.e. time range

Seems like I have solved the problem by myself. When the data are displayed via Plot > Channel data (scroll) just select Display > Remove DC offset. I hope that is really everything that was to it. Unfortunately this is not mentioned in any of the EEGlab tutorials.
