No, ilowpass is specifically for the MPG use-case.

The "counts" inputs for wheel jogging are integer. The output of an
MPG is an integer. If the jog speed is set to 1mm per click, then no
matter what you try to do in the middle, the machine will try to move
in 1mm steps.

What ilowpass does is pretend that the MPG has many more counts than
it really has. If you have a 100 count MPG and move it 1 click, then
ilowpass with a factor if 10 will convert that into something that the
system sees as a 1000 count encoder moving slowly through 10 clicks.

I haven't used it myself, so I am not sure how the on-screen display
of mm-per-click and the actual mm-per-click are sorted out.
