Using the full data set from the recent telemetry downlink, we report
further analysis of Swift-BAT GRB 051016B (trigger #159994)
(Parsons, et al., GCN 4103). The ground-analysis position is
RA,Dec 132.120,+13.627 {08h 48m 28.8s,+13d 37' 38.4"} (J2000)
with an uncertainty of 1.6 arcmin (radius, 90%, stat+sys).
The parital coding fraction is 79 %. T90 is 4.0 +- 0.1 sec.
The lightcurve consists of two overlapping peaks at T+0.3 and T+3.0 sec.
Fitting a simple power law over the full interval from T-0.0 to T+4.6 sec,
the photon index is 2.38 +/- 0.23 with a fluence of 1.7 +/- 0.2 X 10^-7
erg/cm^2. The peak flux in a 1-sec wide window starting at T+0.11 sec
is 1.32 +/- 0.17 ph/cm^2/sec. All values are in the 15-150 keV band
at the 90% confidence level.
