Neither reference or inspector has an explanation of this

rslider-what-is-parameter-mode

If you're referring to what happens when you check in the "Parameter Mode Enable" box, then it's something that's been around for Max for Live for quite a while, and has now migrated into Max 6 generally. The Max for Live vignette that describes it is in the process of migrating to more Max 6-specific form even as I write.

The current vignette that describes them is "Device Parameters in Max for Live"
