              <param> defines as asyn driver parameter "name" that can be specified in an epics record to access data.            
                  "access" is a comma separated list of how the shared variable is accessed: R (reader), BR (buffered reader), W (writer), BW (buffered writer)
                  "type" is the asyn parameter type - it does not need to be identical to the shared variable type, but
                          must be compatible (i.e. numeric if shared variable is numeric). 
                          Valid values are: int32, float64, boolean, string, float32array, float64array, int8array, int16array, int32array - see @link NetShrVarConfig.xsd @endlink
                  "netvar" is the path to the shared variable - you can use / rather than \
                  "fval" and "tval" are only used for boolean type, they are the strings to be displayed for false and true values
                  "field" is only used for a structure type network shared variable, it indicates the structure element to access. Structures are read-only.
