GRB 190429A, reported by Global-MASTER Net (Lipunov V. et al, GCN #24347), registered a weak detection in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector of the AstroSat CZT Imager at 17:49:51.0 UTC. No significant counts were found in the main CZT detectors.
CZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at http://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb. CZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, ISAC, IUCAA, SAC and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed and facilitated the project.
