The long GRB 221029A (Detection by GRBAlpha: Ripa et al., GCN Circ. 32890;
Swift/BAT-GUANO detection: DeLaunay et al., GCN Circ. 32891;
Fermi GBM Final Localization: Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 32900;
Fermi GBM observation: Mangan et al., GCN Circ. 32903) triggered the CALET
Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 01:05:26.60 UTC on 29 October 2022
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1351040741/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
No real-time CGBM GCN notice was distributed about this trigger because
the real-time communication from the ISS was off (loss of signal).

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T+0.2 sec, peaks at T+1.6 sec, and ends at T+32.4 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 27.6 +/- 0.8 sec
and 12.7 +/- 1.4 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

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