report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:

At 2020-06-19T02:36:11.60 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected 
GRB 200619A (trigger ID: HEB200619108) in a routine search of the data, 
which also triggered Fermi/GBM and INTEGRAL (EXB 200619108).

The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of multiple 
pulses with a duration (T90) of 18.49 s measured from T0+0.35 s. 
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0-0.04 s, is 2889 cnts/sec. 
The total counts from this burst is 14248 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the 
normal mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited 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).
