Sensor Analysis Re Analysis interval

Hi, I have had the new camera for nearly twelve months now and was wondering is there any rule of thumb as to if and when it is advisable to run a new sensor analysis as I presume things will change in the electronics for better or worse over time and how much effect this will have on the brain func...
