Abstract
A calculating unit calculates an interval time from a detection of a servo sync mark until a detection of an adjacent servo sync mark, for all servo sync marks on a track of a disk-shaped recording medium. A measuring unit measures, based on the calculated interval time, a deviation amount between a link interval time that represents the interval time between a servo sync mark recorded first and a servo sync mark recorded last and an ideal interval time that represents the link interval time when it is assumed that all the servo sync marks on the track are written at equal intervals.
