    Satya, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'put a plot in a loop', but you can plot values in a feedback loop. Or you can loop VisSim over the simulation time interval by select menu item Simulate > Simulation Properties... > Auto Restart This will cause plots to repeat making it easy to examine parameter change results.

    You cannot put a plot in the loop because plot has no outputs. BUT! You can connect a plot to any other output inside the loop and thus you can watch the value of interest. You can drag the plot atop of other wires so that it appears being inside the loop but actually it is not. A plot block is a signal consumer, it does not change its input signals.
