The short GRB 210424B (IPN triangulation: Hurley, GCN Circ. 29909;
Konus-Wind detection: Svinkin et al., GCN Circ. 29911) triggered the CALET
Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 08:01:55.115 UTC on 24 April 2021
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1303286436/). The burst signal
was seen mainly by the SGM detector.
The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure which starts
at T+0.40 sec, peaks at 1.28 sec and ends at T+1.42 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 1.04 +- 0.16 sec
and 0.56 +- 0.15 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1303286436/

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