Please note that this is documented in the release notes. The change occured
between 3.13.0beta11 and 3.13.0beta12. The notes state:

devVXStats

Major rewrite of this routine. It computes the cpu usage via a low priority task
rather than using spy. It reports file descriptor usage rather
than tcp connections (this is what is actually measures). The format of the INP
,and OUT fields has changed since the previous version.  The
new device definitions are: 

    device(ai,INST_IO,devAiVXStats,"VX stats")
    device(ao,INST_IO,devAoVXStats,"VX stats")

The INP fields now have the form 

    field(INP,"@memory")
    field(INP,"@cpu")
    field(INP,"@fd")

The OUT fields now have the form 

    field(OUT,"@memoryScanPeriod")
    field(OUT,"@fdScanPeriod")
    field(OUT,"@cpuScanPeriod")

The source file has comments showing a sample database.
