That's probably what's happening.  If the returned string doesn't contain
"Hewlett", it will assume it's a valid sample value and try to evaluate it.
Can you try unzipping these replacement .TLL files into the "drivers" folder
beneath your TimeLab installation directory?

After you do that, there should be a checkbox in the acquisition dialog that
you can uncheck to keep it from trying to automatically identify the counter
model.  Let me know if that helps.
