We first discuss X-ray light curves obtained by wide-angle X-ray cameras that are used to discover X-ray novae and to monitor hundreds of sources on a daily basis. We then discuss timing and spectral analyses of data obtained by pointed observations that reveal, in detail, the properties of accreting BHs. Throughout this work we feature RXTE results derived from the huge and growing archive of data amassed since 1996 by the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) and the large-area Proportional Counter Array (PCA) detector (Swank 1998).
