The long GRB 230207B (AGILE detection: Casentini et al., 
GCN Circ 33296; Swift-BAT-GUANO detection: Raman et al.,
GCN Circ. 33298; Detection by GRBAlpha: Dafcikova et al.,
GCN Circ. 33303) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray
Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 04:40:43.38 UTC on 7 February 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1359779945/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a single pulse that starts
at T+2.1 sec, peaks at T+5.2 sec, and ends at T+28.2 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 14.2 +/- 0.8 sec
and 4.7 +/- 0.1 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.
