documentation: |-
    This block converts a complex sample to interleaved IQ bytes.  
    The default scale factor is 1.0 for backward compatibility, however if 
    the outputs should be signed voltage style bytes (-127 to 127) the scale factor
    should be set to 127.0 (SCHAR_MAX).  
    
    Also note that this block can inherently cause a loss of precision as it
    maps the scaled inputs to integer outputs using an lrintf function.  So
    if you overlay a complex-to-ichar into a ichar-to-complex and overlay it
    on the original signal, you can notice variation due to the integer
    rounding.
