Modelsim change displayed value radix of variables in debug mode

Question

can I change the radix of the displayed value when I'm running with the curser over a variable?

So if if hover with my mouse over a variable in debug mode(because a break point was reached) a binary radix is for me not useful. Is there a way to change this radix?

With the Modelsim graphic interface open you might change the radix following the steps bellow:

Select Simulate > Runtime options...
In Default Radix box,select your desired radix

Hope that helps you out.

If you want to set it up permanently, open modelsim.ini (sometimes, you may have to change the permission of this file- default is read-only) in your modelsim installation folder, navigate to

DefaultRadix = symbolic

and change it to

DefaultRadix = hex

DefaultRadixFlags = showbase

After that restart modelsim. This will set your default radix in the wave window to hexadecimal.
