Frederiks et al., GCN Circ 34846; Glowbug gamma-ray detection: Cheung 
et al., GCN Circ 34847) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) 
at 12:30:52.87 UTC on 18 October 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1381667434/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by only the SGM detector.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that ends T+46 sec.
Since CGBM was in the HV-on sequence, the whole episode was not observed by CGBM.
The ground-processed light curve is available at
