python doesn't recognize devices

Hello

I am trying to use python nidaqmx to acquire data from NI devices

for starters I am trying to acquire data from a simulated device. the device is recognized by NI max, but python doesn't seem to recognize it.

I am attaching screenshots of my code, the error message and my NI MAX screen. I also tried replacing "cDAQ1_1" with "cDAQ1Mod1_1" and got the same error message.

would be thankful for any assistance.
