report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team: 

At 2019-01-17T14:36:47.000 (T0), the Insight-HXMT/HE detected 
GRB 190117A (trigger ID: HEB190117608) in a routine search of the data, 
which was also triggered by Konus-Wind and INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS.

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multiple 
pulses with a duration (T90) of 23.29 s measured from T0+0.13 s. 
The 1-s peak rate, measured from T0+1.97 s, is 5013.1 cnts/s. 
The total counts from this burst is 21613.5 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the 
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (record energy). 
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate 
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside 
of the telescope. 

Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was 
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and 
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
