request, receive, and store specific meter data for transfer to route management
software. Interrogators offer a lower infrastructure investment over a fixed-base
system with operational flexibility, efficiency and cost-savings. Interrogators include
handheld computers and van-based mobile interrogators:
• route management software that processes route files from a utility’s customer
information system (CIS); downloads and uploads meter routes to and from
interrogators; stores meter readings for local validation, editing and analysis, and
creates files to transfer meter readings to the utility’s CIS.
