The short GRB 180716A (Konus-Wind trigger time on 19:27:20.845 UT)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 19:27:24.372 UTC
on 16 July 2018. This GRB is also clearly seen by the publicly available
INTEGRAL SPI-ACS light curve.
No real-time CGBM GCN notice was distributed about this trigger
because the real-time communication from the ISS was off (loss of signal).
The burst signal was seen only by the SGM instrument.
The burst light curve shows a structured pulse which starts
at T-0.38 sec, peaks at T-0.13 sec, and ends at T+0.26 sec.
There is a weaker pulse marginally seen at ~T-0.9 sec.
The T90 and the T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
0.58 +- 0.18 sec and 0.26 +- 0.18 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.
The ground processed light curve is available at
http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1215804335/
The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by the Waseda CALET
Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
