The long GRB 230818B (AstroSat CZTI detection: 
Navaneeth et al., GCN Circ. 34524; VZLUSAT-2 detection: 
Dafcikova et al., GCN Circ. 34525; Konus/Wind detection at 
2023-08-18 10:12:54.913 UT) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray 
Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 10:12:54.02 UTC on 18 August 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1376388662/).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
Because of a problem in one of the ground alert processing script,
the GCN notice was not distributed automatically for this event.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T-0.6 sec, peaks at T+0.6 sec, and ends at T+32.0 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 27.6 +/- 1.2 sec
and 13.3 +/- 0.6 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1376388662/index.html

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