Hybrid labs are systems that combine both virtual and remote laboratories technologies to deliver real experiments and simulations to end users. For example, in labs in which the circuit under test is a programmable ASIC - application-specific integrated circuit that is an integrated circuit customized for a particular user or a microprocessor, it is possible to deliver their design/application software to the users via the Internet. With the help of a remote lab it’s possible to test the real hardware system.

We have now a complex environment where it is possible to program the circuit, simulate it (with the remote application software) and also perform real tests and measurements. Such systems add great value to online labs and bring them closer to real environments.
