The long GRB 220708B (Swift/BAT-GUANO arcminute localization: 
Tohuvavohu et al., GCN Circ. 32345) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray
Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 02:06:55.120 UTC on 8 July 2022
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1341281218/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a single pulse which starts
at T+2.6 sec, peaks at T+4.8 sec, and ends at T+6.5 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 3.4 +/- 0.3 sec
and 1.4 +/- 0.2 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1341281218/

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