Converting std_logic to integer within testbench?

Question

I'm trying to return a value of a CLK signal at a specific time in the Console Window of ISim (shown in my code below, 7.5ns). I'm getting this error:

ERROR:HDLCompiler:258 - "saved project.." Line 91: Cannot convert type std_logic to type unsigned

I've used this conversion ( integer'image(to_integer(unsigned((generic_signal)))); ) with std_logic_vectors and it worked fine, but this one won't take. The CLK value is a 0 or a 1, I just want to return that value at a given time. Do you know of a more efficient way of doing this? Do you happen to know of a link where I can see more ways to return variable values using 'image

You can easily print an std_logic using the image attribute:

report "SYS_CLK: " & std_logic'image(SYS_CLK);
