Introduction: A number of strong coronal sources have been observed with the Chandra gratings. In addition to high spectral resolution analysis, these sources can also be analyzed for their time variability.

We are carrying out a comprehensive program to analyze the temporal signatures of these sources. We plan to measure the magnitude and character of their variability, characterize their flare number distributions, and analyze the differences in behavior at different plasma temperatures, as detectable in specific spectral lines.
