Oscar Profiles, etc

Oscar Profiles, etc
Is it possible to upload data to Oscar in the same profile for two different machines?  Will Oscar keep track of the machines?  
I have replaced my machine with a duplicate model, (different serial # of course).  I could create a separate profile but I prefer to upload to the same profile so that I can compare nights using different settings without having to change profiles.  In the future, after I forget the date of the machine swap, I'd like to be sure that Oscar will display the serial # used on any particular date.  On a given day, I can see the serial # under Data/advanced or Data/Rebuild.  Will this field properly indicate the serial # used on a given day after uploading data from another machine??  
Are there any other considerations when using two machines under the same profile??

Yes, so long as the different CPAPs are of the same brand. The CPAP will be displayed in the Daily page as the one used for that day's data and in the Statistics page, under, "Changes to Device Settings". It is possible to load various brands, but due to different parameters, it may cause reporting and display errors. Case in point; A Resmed has a Flow Limit graph, whereas the Philips only lists this parameter in the Events section.

Thanks Red.  
It turns out the Data/advanced/Purge or Data/Rebuild.  Under Daily, it lists the machine make, model, settings but not the serial number used that day.  Since the machines are both the same make, model, the serial number is the only way to tell which machine was used and that does not appear in the Daily View; at least not that I see. 

Under Statistics, at the bottom of the page, under Device Information, serial number is assigned to a date range.  This is good, but I’m wondering if there is a setting or something to make the serial number appear in the Daily view?  The only place I can find what serial number was used on a particular day is in Statistics/Device Information.  Don’t see it anywhere else. 

Have I missed something or is this proper operation? 

Thanks again.

Preferences > Appearance > Other Visual Settings - Include Serial Number. This will be added to each listing in the Statistics > Changes to Device Settings. They will be enclosed in brackets ("[ ]").
