The long GRB 180409A (IPN triangulation: Hurley et al., GCN circ. 22619;
Konus-Wind detection: Frederiks et al., GCN circ. 22621;
Fermi-GBM detection: Bissaldi and Meegan GCN circ. 22626) triggered
the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 08:18:17.669 UTC on 9 April 2018.
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows several partially overlapped short pulses
which start at T+3.0 sec, peaks at T+12.3 sec and ends at T+14.9 sec.
The T90 and the T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 10.6 +- 0.7 sec
and 5.9 +- 1.8 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
