Using the data set from T-240 to T+303 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 251007A (trigger #1402466)
(Ambrosi, et al., GCN Circ. 42146).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 128.162, 21.810 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  08h 32m 38.8s
   Dec(J2000) = +21d 48' 36.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 85%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex structure starting at ~T-1 sec,
peaking at T+56 sec, and decaying to background at T+110 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 64.19 +- 5.17 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.04 to T+103.43 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.32 +- 0.03.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.04 +- 0.02 x
10^-5 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+56.14 sec 
in the 15-150 keV band is 9.5 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are 
at the 90% confidence level.
