Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 190511Atrigger #903158)
(Bernardini, et al., GCN Circ. 24472).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 126.443, -20.252 deg which is 
  RA(J2000)  =  08h 25m 46.2s 
  Dec(J2000) = -20d 15' 05.6" 
with an uncertainty of 1.5 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 9%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a complex, multi-peaked structure,
starting at about T-25 sec, peaking at T+0 sec and declining to background
by T+10 sec.  The spacecraft slewed away from the burst position by 
T+475 sec.  T90 (15-350 keV) is 27.7 +- 2.4 sec (estimated error including 
systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-24.27 to T+6.88 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.19 +- 0.10.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 7.4 +- 0.5 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.36 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 6.2 +- 1.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
