Zusammenfassung:An encoder apparatus includes an encoder and a processor. The encoder includes a scale portion, a light emitting portion, and a light receiving portion. The scale portion includes a first track and a second track. The processor obtains a plurality of candidate values of a gap between the light emitting portion and the scale portion on a basis of an amplitude of a first signal obtained by receiving light reflected on or transmitted through the first track by the light receiving portion. The processor determines a measured value from among the plurality of candidate values on a basis of an amplitude of a second signal obtained by receiving light reflected on or transmitted through the second track by the light receiving portion.
