The long GRB 221230A (Wind-KONUS Notice at 03:34:17.508 on 30 December) 
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 03:34:17.34 UTC 
on December 30, 2022
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1356406433/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T+0.6 sec, and peaks at T+16.0 sec and ends at T+21.7 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 18.6 +/- 0.9 sec
and 13.5 +/- 0.5 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at Waseda University.
