X2127+119 exhibits dips with a period of 17.1 hours. Its accretion disk may possess an ionized corona (ADC), though the apparent lack of reprocessing of a bright type I burst disputes this possibility. One diagnostic of ADC conditions is strong discrete emission, whose analysis sheds light upon the location of and temperature and ionization level in the reprocessing gas. To date this system has never been observed spectroscopically with good energy resolution or at soft X-ray energies (where spectral features abound). We propose two observations of X2127+119: one using the ACIS-S-LETG and one using the ACIS-S-HETG. We show that X2127+119 is sufficiently bright to produce good spectra and that such spectra will likely include numerous strong soft emission features.
