The Be/X-ray pulsar EXO 2030+375 has now been observed for more than 22 years. In this time, it underwent two giant outbursts, in 1985 and 2006, and numerous normal outbursts at its 46-day orbital period. Our observations include daily monitoring of EXO 2030+375 with RXTE from 2006 June through 2007 May and several snapshots of normal outbursts before and after the giant outburst. During this giant outburst, we discovered evidence for a cyclotron feature at about 11 keV. This feature was confidently detected for about 90 days during the brighter portion of the outburst. Daily observations after the giant outburst detected pulsations throughout EXO 2030+375's orbit and included five normal outbursts shifted later in orbital phase relative to those before the giant outburst. Here we will present results from our detailed RXTE observations of the giant outburst and the normal outbursts that surrounded it and examine how they fit into the long-term picture we have of EXO 2030+375 and Be/X-ray binaries.
