Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 200115A (trigger #949361)
(Page, et al., GCN Circ. 26771).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 56.453, 5.607 deg, which is
   RA(J2000)  =  03h 45m 48.7s
   Dec(J2000) = +05d 36' 26.0"
with an uncertainty of 1.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 82%.

The mask-weighted light curve starts before T-50 sec, picking up at T-30 sec,
continued increasing until the peak at T+100 sec, a couple weak following peaks,
and having weak and flat emission out past the end of data at T+240 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 158.4 +- 32.6 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-40.29 to T+233.12 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 1.29 +- 0.24,   
and Epeak of 75.0 +- 17.5 keV (chi squared 40.88 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.0 +- 0.0 x 10^-5 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+99.75 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
3.6 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index  
of 1.77 +- 0.06 (chi squared 53.76 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors 
are at the 90% confidence level.
