[Eeglablist] what is this " The header file points to a binary file that does not exist ..."

[Zhaoping Li]

Dear EEGLab,

When I run in matlab (on a Linux machine) this pop_loadbv() function,  
with a command

EEG = pop_loadbv(filepath, filename);   %--- after I have defined 
filepath and filename


I got this message:

pop_loadbv(): reading EEG data
The header file points to a binary file that does not exist
trying to open a binary file with the same name as the header
file and a different extension...
pop_loadbv(): scaling EEG data
pop_loadbv(): reading marker file
Done.
pop_loadbv() warning: data files in header and marker files inconsistent.




I do not understand what is going on, assuming all is alright, I proceed 
to get
eeg_times = EEG.times;
eeg_data = EEG.data;
eeg_chanlocs = EEG.chanlocs;
eeg_event = EEG.event;


However, I am not sure whether I am doing the right thing. Could 
somebody explain this to me?

thank you very much!
