Using the event-by-event data downloaded through the X-band ground station, we report further analysis of ECLAIRs observations of GRB 260211A (SVOM burst-id 26021102), which was also detected by Fermi/GBM sub-threshold event (GCN #43713).

The burst that triggered ECLAIRs onboard (GCN #43705) consists of a double-peaked pulse with a duration of T90 = 21.6 +9.2/-2.8 s in the 4-120 keV energy band. 

The time-averaged spectrum from T0-7.54 s to T0+13.12 s (T0 = 2026-02-11T19:24:33 UTC) in the energy range 5-120 keV is best fitted by a powerlaw model with a photon index of -1.71 +0.06/-0.07. With this model, the total 4-120 keV fluence is (1.08 ± 0.06)*E-6 erg/cm^2. 

All the quoted errors are at the 68% confidence level.
The Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a China-France joint mission led by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA), French Space Agency (CNES), and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which is dedicated to observing gamma-ray bursts and other transient phenomena in the energetic universe. ECLAIRs was developed jointly by CNES, CEA-IRFU, CNRS-IRAP, CNRS-APC.
