The long-duration GRB 151006A (Kocevski et al., GCN Circ. 18398; Cummings et al.,
GCN Circ. 18409; Roberts & Meegan, GCN Circ. 18404; Golenetskii et al., GCN Circ. 18413;
Bhalerao et al., GCN Circ. 18422) triggered the CALET Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)
at 09:54:59.97 UT on 6 October 2015. The clear burst signal was detected by the Soft
Gamma-ray Monitor (SGM; 30 keV - 20 MeV) which is a scintillation detector utilized a BGO
crystal. Due to a large incident angle of the event, no signal was detected by the Hard X-ray
Monitor (HXM; 7 keV - 1 MeV) which is a scintillation detector composed of a LaBr3(Ce) crystal.
The SGM light curve shows two spikes peaking at T0-2s and T0+2s, and the emission ending
around T0+~60s. The T90 duration measured by the SGM data is 63 +- 5 s (30 - 1000 keV).
Currently, CALET is in the commissioning phase. Further information about CALET and
CGBM can be found at http://calet.jp/en/ and http://www.en.yoshida-agu.net/research/calet-gbm
