The long GRB 240402C (GRBAlpha detection: Dafcikova et al., GCN Circ. 36036;
Glowbug gamma-ray detection: Cheung et al., GCN Circ. 36038) triggered
the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 05:30:42.49 UTC on 2 April 2024
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1396070722/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a double-peaked structure that starts
at T-62.6 sec, peaks at T+1.6 sec, and ends at T+21.1 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 76.5 +/- 2.6 sec
and 53.5 +/- 1.0 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.
