Would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks!!
Morning Isle of Man TT , it's unclear what you are asking, if you are wondering if you can use a cable adjuster to take up slack from pad wear, I've always read never to do this, but to use only the two dials with torx holes, to bring the pads in a bit to compensate for wear.
Seems to me from memory is that it is to avoid shortening the pull, which could be tricky. Others will explain better, but I just heeded the avid warning not to use a cable adjuster, like the ones right at the lever.

I hardly ever have to move pads, so the inconvenience isn't a hassle at all.

PS Tandem Tom, if you were wondering what on earth I was meaning, your name always makes me think TT, which is a motorcycle racing event that has been around since just after ww2 on the isle of Man , and that I've watched sometimes for decades.....
