The long GRB 231118B (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 35111; BALROG localization: Preis 
et al., GCN Circ 35112; Fermi GBM observation: de Barra et al.,
GCN Circ 35132) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst 
Monitor (CGBM) at 22:34:15.15 UTC on 18 November 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1384381978/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by HXM1 and SGM 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 single pulse that starts
at T-0.7 sec, peaks at T+2.8 sec, and ends at T+6.5 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 5.6 +/- 0.3 sec
and 2.4 +/- 0.1 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.
