Following the detection of increased gamma ray emission from a location consistent with the Crab nebula by AGILE (Atel #2855) and FERMI/LAT (Atel #2861) RXTE performed a dedicated pointing observation on September 24, 2010 14:45 UT. Analysis of the PCU2 data has not shown any significant changes in the the overall spectral properties. A fit with the absorbed (N_H = 0.34 * 1022 cm-2 fixed) power law yielded the photon index of 2.128+/-0.002 and normalization at 1 keV of 10.96+/-0.06 which translates to unabsorbed fluxes of 3.7e-8 erg/cm2/s between 2 and 30 keV.
