The long GRB 190324A (Swift-BAT trigger #894718: LaPorte et al.,
GCN Circ. 23993; Fermi GBM detection: Hui, GCN Circ. 24002)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 22:44:16.902 UTC
on 24 March 2019. The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a single multi-peaked pulse which starts
at T=2.7 sec, peaks at 5.1 sec and ends at T+20.5 sec.
The precursor is not seen in the CGBM data.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
12.6 +- 2.3 sec and 4.5 +- 0.5 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.
The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1237502436/

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