Using the data set from T-239 to T+827 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 140331A (trigger #594081)
(Zhang, et al., GCN Circ. 16049). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 134.860, 2.755 deg, which is
RA(J2000) = 08h 59m 26.4s
Dec(J2000) = +02d 45' 19.5"
with an uncertainty of 3.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 98%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a long weak peak starting
at ~T+70 sec and ending at around T+350 sec. T90 (15-350 keV)
is 209 +- 33 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T87.28to T+321.14 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
2.01 +- 0.29. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.7 +- 1.3 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+292.49 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.31 +- 0.13 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
