Common Reading Format (CRF)

An XML file format developed by Itron to enable software applications with different native file formats to exchange meter route and energy use data. Originally developed for the Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE) Meter Data Management (MDM) solution software, CRF is used by Itron’s Field Deployment Manager (FDM), Field Collection System (FCS), MV-RS, and Premierplus4 mobile meter reading systems and by its ChoiceConnect Fixed Network 100 and OpenWay network meter reading systems.
