Installing TIMS
Installing Tachyon Instruction Management Studio (TIMS).
The TIMS installer is downloaded from the 1E Support Portal https://support.1e.com/ as a zip containing x86 and x64 MSI installers.
You should install the same or later version of TIMS as the 1E Client you want to develop instructions for. The latest version of TIMS will be suitable because SCALE is backwards-compatible in most cases. Functions and Methods Reference tells you the earliest version in which a SCALE function or method was implemented, and on which OS.
After installing TIMS you can begin development of Tachyon instructions. A good place to start is Writing instructions.
About TIMS
Tachyon Instruction Management Studio (TIMS) is a graphical user interface for authoring and testing Tachyon instructions, which can then be saved so they can be uploaded and used in your Tachyon system.
The instruction definition XML files that TIMS creates can be uploaded into Tachyon using the Tachyon Portal Setting application so that they can then be used within Tachyon, or combined with other instructions into a Product Pack zip.
TIMS contains a copy of the 1E Client, isolated from the local 1E Client installed on your computer. It has only the Tachyon client features enabled, other client modules are disabled. Earlier versions of TIMS contained a copy of Tachyon Agent.
Each version of TIMS is bound to its version of 1E Client, which does not have to be the same version as your local client, nor does it have to be the same architecture. This means you can have multiple versions of TIMS installed, and you can test your instructions against different versions of the client that you may have in your Tachyon system, or are planning to have. However, you can run only one copy of TIMS at any time.
Note
Currently, TIMS is supported only on Windows OS.
For supported OS versions and other requirements please refer to version specific documentation.
Interactive installation
During installation you may see a UAC prompt for 1E Client.
The default installation location is C:\Program Files\1E\Tachyon\TIMS - you can safely rename this folder to be version specific - say TIMS_v5.0.0.745_x64.
A shortcut named Tachyon Instruction Management Studio is added to the public desktop ( C:\Users\Public\Desktop) - which runs Tachyon.InstructionManagementStudio.exe
You can only have one version of TIMS installed or running at the same time. However, you can safely make copies of the TIMS installation folder and create your own shortcuts, if you want to keep multiple versions of TIMS on the same computer.
