Five questions regarding Teensy 3.6 with Arduino IDE v1.82 and Teensyduino on Windows 10

I wish to run two Teensy’s from the same computer; for example, Teensy #1 connected to Com3 and Teensy #2 connected to Com12. Even though I open two separate instances of the IDE from the Start Menu and even though I am able to designate the Teensy #1 as Com3 and Teensy #2 Com12, either sketch is always uploaded to Teensy #1 on Com3.

I have been able to connect one Teensy at a time (#1 as Com3 and #2 as Com12) upload a sketch to Teensy #1 on Com3, disconnect it, and then connect Teensy #2 on Com12 upload its sketch, and then connect both #1 and #2 as Com 3 and Com 12 respectively.

1. Is this the only reliable method.

2. Can I somehow change the Comm number for a specific Teensy?
It seems permanent once I connect it to a given computer.

3. How can I obtain the SN for a specific Teensy?
When I use Tools Menu - Get Board Info
The following information is displayed.
BN: Teensy
VID: 16C0
PID: 0483
SN: Upload any sketch to obtain it
No matter what I do, the same message appears.

4. Is the Serial Plotter available with Teensyduino? I am able to access the Serial Monitor but not the Serial Plotter.

5. Should I be using USB Serial for Teensy 3.6 with Teensyduino rather than USB Raw HID.
I believe I may have originally missed the small print and began by using Raw HID but have recently switched to Serial.

Thank you,
Dave Kender
 
Re #5 > Serial is better.

And as noted TyCommander ( aka tyqt ) is awesome - it won't do plotting, but a great robust Serial Monitor - and when using 'Integrate to Arduino' ( close IDE and TeensyLoader ) it becomes the Loader when the IDE is re-opened. It shows Serial # for each device and you can open two IDE's with unique INO's and choose which goes where on first instance and then it directs it there.
