The GRB 250926A (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 41993; AstroSat CZTI detection: Goyal
et al., GCN Circ. 42008; Insight-HXMT detection: Wang et al., GCN Circ. 
42013; triangulation location with Insight-HXMT/HE and Fermi/GBM: Zhang
et al., GCN Circ. 42019) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)
at 00:21:23.82 UTC on 26 September 2025
(https://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1442880852/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by only the SGM detector.  

The burst light curve shows a single pulse that starts
at T+0.75 sec, peaks at T+1.08 sec, and ends at T+1.35 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 0.55 +/- 0.11 sec
and 0.25 +/- 0.10 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.
