In this example, 15.4 kis a close standard value, so we use 15 k, which 
changes the voltage slightly, but not enough to make us change our range.
Calibration Drift Checks The 1715I/O analog modules are calibrated at the factory with a default 
calibration. As time passes, the electrical specifications of various electronic 
components of your analog module drift.
To make sure the best possible accuracy in measurements that your analog 
input module makes and signals that your analog output module generates are 
maintained, it is recommended to perform a calibration drift check every two 
years for most applications.
Although the purpose of checking the calibration of analog modules is the 
same for input and output modules, to verify that the accuracy and 
repeatability of the module is maintained, the procedures that are involved 
differ per module. 
When you check the calibration of input modules, you use current, voltage, or 
ohms calibrators to send a signal to the module and check the correct values 
are reported.
