Drifting Gyro with EasyC

Okay, so the programming team was fiddling around with the KOP gyro last night for the first time using EasyC. We hooked up the gyro, and using the test code, were able to get a fairly accurate reading off of it, however, once we turned the gyro back to center, the reading started to drift. We were not turning it faster than the 80 degrees per second, and it still drifted pretty significantly (20 degrees or so) What do I need to do to calibrate the gyro with EasyC to prevent it for drifting like this?
Thanks
Malhon
