Based on the recent report of activity from XMMU J054134.7-682550 (ATEL #1169), RXTE observed the source on 09 Aug 2007 at 03:35 UTC for about 3500 seconds. X-ray pulsations are clearly detected. The pulse period is 61.601 +/- 0.017 seconds, with a pulsed semi-amplitude of about 40%. There are no obvious signs of orbital Doppler modulation. Assuming this source is a Be star system having a giant, "Type II" outburst, the estimated orbital period is about 80 days - within a factor of 2 - based on a fit to the P_{spin} vs.
