The long GRB 190103B (Swift-BAT trigger #881709: Lien et al.,
GCN Circ. 23602, Markwardt et al., GCN Circ. 23606;
Konus-Wind observation: Tsvetkova et al., GCN Circ. 23612)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)
at 21:03:46.478 UTC on 3 January 2019.
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows two multi-peaked pulses which
start at T-6.9 sec, peak at T+5.4 sec, and end at T+22.3 sec.
The T90 and the T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
19.6 +- 2.5 sec and 9.1 +- 1.0 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1230584543/

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
