The long GRB 230402A (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 33553; AGILE detection: Casentini et al.,
GCN Circ 33555; AstroSat CZTI detection: Navaneeth et al., GCN Circ. 
33562) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)at 
07:32:38.72 UTC on 2 April 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1364455761/).
The burst signal was seen by only the SGM detector.

The burst light curve shows a single pulse that starts
at T-3.2 sec and ends at T+4.8 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 7.0 +/- 1.0 sec
and 4.0 +/- 1.0 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1364455761/

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