French term or phrase: bouclage
"Dans le cas où l’écart est supérieur à une valeur de référence fixée librement par l’utilisateur, au moins une nouvelle impédance source ZG est définie par bouclage sur l’étape jusqu’à obtenir de manière itérative un écart inférieur à la valeur de référence."

neutral  Tony M: I don't feel this is likely here, J — this seems to be an abstract idea of running some kind of process in a loop, rather than any kind of physical connection...
