JPIA(1)

✨ JPIA ✨

okay bestie, we're doing a manual page today and honestly? this one's a little baddie. it's called jpia, it lives in section 1 of the manual (the General Commands Manual, where all the executables hang out), and it's here to make your JP Instruments .jpi files make sense. 🛩️✨

💖 NAME 💖

jpia — parse a JPI EDM file and export flights to CSV. that's the whole serve. one job, done gorgeously. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jpia [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]
jpi-analyzer [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]

two names, same energy. jpia is short and snappy, jpi-analyzer is the full government name — they're the same program, so use whichever one you vibe with. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents the jpia command briefly — yes, briefly, it says so, we're keeping it honest here bestie. 😌

what it actually does: jpia displays and converts information from JP Instruments .jpi data files. read it, look at it, turn it into spreadsheets — it's giving data-glow-up. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -f, --file FILE — the path to your .jpi file. this one is required, like genuinely required, not the optional kind of "required" — it's marked [required]. no file, no flight data, no slay. 💀
• --help — show the help message. the classic "hello, what do you do" button. 🙈

💜 COMMANDS 💜

• csv — export flights to CSV, and yes, that's one file per flight. every flight gets its own little spreadsheet moment. 📊
• info — print the file metadata plus a one-line summary per flight. the tl;dr mode. quick vibe check on your whole logbook. 👑

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

🍓 csv

this is where the csv command gets its little extras, bestie — here's the whole menu. 🧚

• -F, --flights TEXT — which flights to include. you can pass 'all', or a comma-separated list of IDs, or a comma-separated list of indices. or… omit it entirely and you get an interactive picker. very choose-your-own-adventure of you. 🎀
• -m, --metrics TEXT — the metric codes you want. pass 'all', or a comma-separated list, like for example 'E1,C1,MAP,RPM'. mix and match as you please. 🔥
• -o, --out-dir DIRECTORY — the directory you want the CSVs written to. tell it where to drop the goods. 📁

👑 AUTHOR 👑

jpi-analyzer was written by Sophie Bertsch <git@sophie.bertsch.de>. 💖

this manual page was written by Jakob Haufe <sur5r@debian.org>, for the Debian project (and may be used by others). the whole "and may be used by others" thing is the nicest little permission slip ever, we stan. 🫶

also real talk: everything above is drawn straight from the General Commands Manual page for JPIA(1), dated March 16, 2026. no cap, that's the whole vibe, that's the whole page. 💅✨

go forth and convert those flights, bestie. periodt. 🌸🦋💜
