The long GRB 230623B (GECAM trigger 195; Swift/BAT-GUANO 
detection: Ronchini et al.,GCN Circ. 34076) triggered the CALET 
Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 21:22:37.02 UTC on 23 
June 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1371590547/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-3.2 sec, peaks at T+13.9 sec, and ends at T+20.4 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 21.4 +/- 1.5 sec
and 13.4 +/- 0.6 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.
