Using the data set from T-200 to T+200 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 240516A (trigger #1228797)
(Parsotan et al., GCN Circ. 36493).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 212.784, -63.495 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  14h 11m 08.3s
   Dec(J2000) = -63d 29' 41.7"
with an uncertainty of 1.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 45%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a single-peaked, FRED-like structure
that starts at ~T-5 s, peaks at ~T-2 s, and ends at ~T+15 s. In addition,
there are some weak tail emissions that last till ~T+110 s.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 94.69 +- 34.00 sec (estimated error including
systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-4.75 to T+112.50 sec is best fit by
a simple power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged
spectrum is 1.09 +- 0.19.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.0 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
from T-2.20 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.1 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
