+/**
+ * Parameter subclass for the double type. Most of the
+ * functionality is already implemented in {@code Parameter}, 
+ * leaving only construction and type definition to the
+ * subclasses.
+ * <br><br>
+ * This class contains three constructors, two of which are public.
+ * One assumes the parameter is not critical and only takes a name
+ * and initial value, while the other allows the critical flag
+ * to be set as well. The third constructor is protected and allows
+ * the monitor flag to be set as well, allowing subclasses of this class
+ * to be used as monitors. See {@link IntegerMonitor} for an example
+ * of this usage.
+ * <br><br>
+ * The validate method is overridden here and left blank since not all
+ * parameters actually require validation, but where validation is
+ * required this method can be anonymously overridden on an instance-to-instance
+ * basis.
