The closest in time MCAL\ntriggered data acquisition occurred about 7 sec after the Fermi-GBM trigger,\nresulting in typical values of the fluence 3-sigma UL ranging from 5.2 e^-7\nerg cm^-2 to 6.3 e^-7 erg cm^-2 (assuming a power law spectral model with\nphoton index1.4 and 1 sec integration time).\n\nThe AGILE-MCAL detector is a CsI detector with a 4-pi FoV, working in the\nrange 0.4 - 100 MeV. Additional analysis of AGILE data is in progress.",
