Simulation of RC circuit using Proteus

Question

I am learning how to use Proteus and I have come across the charging and discharging of a capacitor problem. My main problem is on how to use the graph feature of Proteus to simulate how the voltage against time looks like. I have tried to implement this problem on Circuit Wizard and it shows exactly what I want and now I would like to do the same on Proteus but I keep getting a straight line instead. Can someone please guide me through? I have attached the images of my attempt using Proteus and what I expect the graph to look like using Circuit Wizard.

Try using a replacing a 9V VDC voltage source with a VAC voltage source. Pay attention to the frequency of the VAC voltage source. This should address the issue.
With regard to determining the time value for a particular voltage, review PROTEUS DESIGN
SUITE Getting Started Guide. In the section VSM tutorial (Graphs) read around page 230.

You might have export the raw data and then import to another software like Microsoft Excel to graph the data. This should allow you to review the exact time value for a specific voltage.
