Closing down the Parameter system - Global associations

The parameter system does not close-down when an instrumentation task action completes. This means that parameters retain their values and remain ``active", rather than being returned to the ``ground" state. It also means that instrumentation tasks never write global associations. This behaviour is similar to the behaviour for D-tasks, but unlike the behaviour for CD-tasks.
