The long GRB 240624B (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: Fermi 
GBM team, GCN Circ. 36749; GRBAlpha detection: Dafcikova et al., GCN
Circ. 36759) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) 
at 19:19:42.90 UTC on 24 June 2024 
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1403291510/).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a main pulse around the trigger time, with
weak pulses starting around T + 50 sec.  The burst emission starts 
at T+2.4 sec, peaks at T+3.4 sec, and ends at T+100.4 sec. The 
T90 and T50 durations  measured by the SGM data are 93.6 +/- 1.8 sec 
and 69.4 +/- 11.7 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.
