To do this, you'll probably want to redo the benchmark programs a bit. You can make a gr.vector_source_b that you can put directly into the modulators. They expect to take packed bytes (that is, all 8 bits in the byte contain information). I use scipy.random.randint(0,256, N) for stuff like this. If you are looking to packetize your data like the benchmark scripts do, then you will have to change how the paketizing function works to work with non-string data. We don't have that functionality in there right now.
