The AB web site says:

"The finest resolution of BACKFILLS that Interactive Brokers TWS offers is 
1-SECOND bars. It means that although you can collect streaming real-time data 
in tick format, the backfill will always have resolution limited to 1-second 
bars. Also IB TWS streaming data are NOT tick-by-tick, but rather 0.2-0.3 
second snapshots.

    For this reason we recommend using higher intervals like 5-sec, 15-sec or 
better yet 1 minute."

Does this means one can't use tick charts with IB data?
