Using the data set from T-240 to T+323 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of the outburst detected by BAT of SG1900+14
(trigger #205164) (Falcone, et al., GCN 4962). The BAT ground-calculated
position is RA,Dec = 286.886,+9.524 deg {19h 7m 32.6s, 9d 31' 27.3"} (J2000)
+- 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted lightcurve shows two slightly overlapping pulses
with a FWHM of ~0.030 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 0.040 +- 0.010 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The best fit is a thermal bremsstrahlung model with
kT [keV] = 43.5 -11/+14 and the normalization = 48.9 -10.6/+14.3.
The fluence is 1.3 +/- 0.2 x10^-8 erg/cm2. All values are
in the 15-150 keV band at the 90% confidence level.
