You can issue the above commands at the ncsim TCL console BEFORE running the simulation/sending signals to waveform window or you can put them in a file called input.tcl and provide this file to irun/ncverilog with -input option.
> irun -input input.tcl <other options>
To expand the time sequence:
Go to the "Simvision Waveform WIndow"
Go to "View" menu
Go to "Expand Sequence Time"
