A metrology system may include a metrology tool to selectively perform metrology measurements in a static mode in which one or more metrology targets on a sample are stationary during a measurement or a scanning mode in which one or more metrology targets are in motion during a measurement, and a controller communicatively coupled to the translation stage and at least one of the one or more detectors. The controller may receive locations of metrology targets on the sample to be inspected, designate the metrology targets for inspection with the static mode or the scanning mode, direct the metrology tool to perform metrology measurements on the metrology targets in the static mode or the scanning mode based on the designation, and generate metrology data for the sample based on the metrology measurements on the metrology targets.
