setting text aliases to signal values in modelsim waveforms

[Mahurshi Akilla]

is there a way in modelsim to set a desired binary signal to display
as text ?

for example:
whenever a signal (say, op_code) is 0110, i would like it to show up
as BLT in the waveform instead of 0110. this would be very easy on my
eyes.

is there a way to do that?

Hi!
One of the ways in verilog i suppose you are using verilog, is to have
a code
which would assign the string to a variable and dump this variable in
the waveform.

Check out the commands [virtual signal] and [virtual type] in the
ModelSim command reference.

Alternatively, use VHDL enumerated types
