The long GRB 230216B (AstroSat CZTI detection: Shetty et al.,
GCN Circ. 33341) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor
(CGBM) at 19:03:22.03 UTC on 16 February 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1360609287/index.html).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T+1.5 sec, peaks at T+4.9 sec, and ends at T+11.1 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 8.3 +/- 1.1 sec
and 3.1 +/- 0.4 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1360609287/

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