Using the data set from T-240 to T+512 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 120320A (trigger #518200)
(Markwardt, et al., GCN Circ. 13071).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 212.517, 8.682 deg which is
    RA(J2000)  =  14h 10m 04.0s
    Dec(J2000) = +08d 40' 54.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.6 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 60%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows two overlapping weak peaks.  There is
possible low-level emission out to approximately T+90 sec.  T90
(15-350 keV) is 25.74 +- 3.55 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.01 to T+29.86 sec is best fit by a power
law with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.31 +- 0.95,
and Epeak of 62.8 +- 23.4 keV (chi squared 57.5 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.9 +- 1.6 x 10^-07 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+24.10 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
0.5 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.58 +- 0.18 (chi squared 64.7 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
