The long GRB 231028A (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 34893; Swift detection: Williams et al.,
GCN Circ. 34894; Fermi GBM Detection: Veres et al., GCN Circ. 34899; 
Glowbug gamma-ray detection: Kerr et al., GCN Circ. 34900; 
AstroSat CZTI detection: Navaneeth et al.,  GCN Circ. 34901) 
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 04:09:04.43
UTC on 28 October 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1382501309/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T+0.25 sec, peaks at T+6.5 sec, and ends at T+47.5 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 36.1 +/- 1.2 sec
and 6.9 +/- 1.1 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.
