The short GRB 250704B (SVOM/GRM observation: Wang et al., GCN 40940; 
Konus-Wind detection: Frederiks et al., GCN 40972; Insight-HXMT detection:
Wang et al., GCN 40978) associated with the EP X-ray transient EP250704a
(Einstein Probe detection: Li et al., GCN 40941; refined analysis of the EP-WXT
and FXT follow-up observations: Li et al., GCN 40956) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray
Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 08:16:26.88 UTC on 4 July 2025 and the GCN/CALET Notice 
was distributed near real-time 
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1435651911/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by only the SGM detector.  

The burst light curve shows a double-peaked structure that starts
at T+0.21 sec, peaks at T+0.37 sec, and ends at T+0.51 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 0.28 +/- 0.03 sec
and 0.23 +/- 0.04 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1435651911/

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at Waseda University.
