Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 180314A (trigger #814129)
(D'Avanzo et al., GCN Circ. 22478

).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 99.208, -24.530 deg which is
  RA(J2000)  =  06h 36m 50.0s
  Dec(J2000) = -24d 31' 47.7"
with an uncertainty of 3.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 24%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a few overlapping pulses that starts
at ~ T-12 s and ends at ~T+110 s. The main peak occurs at ~T+4 s. Note that
the burst location came in to the BAT FOV at ~T-32 s, and thus the burst
emission might start before it is in the BAT FOV. T90 (15-350 keV) is
51.2 +- 22.3 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-11.80 to T+109.75 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.83 +- 0.25,
and Epeak of 94.9 +- 17.8 keV (chi squared 47.72 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.1 +- 0.04 x 10^-5 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+3.05 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
7.9 +- 0.6 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.50 +- 0.05 (chi squared 72.57 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
