EQ6R-Pro worm period

[A320Flyer]

Can someone explain how to calculate the worm period on a EQ6R-Pro. I know it’s 479sec or thereabouts but how do you calculate it it based on the mount’s specification details. 
Thanks

Assuming the mount has true sidereal tracking the worm wheel rotates exactly once in a full sidereal day (86,164.1 seconds).   Obviously the worm wheel must have a whole number of teeth (180, 176, 160, etc.). The division is then simplified  (86164.1/# of Teeth).

If the worm wheel has 180 teeth then the worm gear rotates once in 478.6894 seconds. (Ignoring backlash or periodic error)

According to EQMOD prerequisites  website the EQ6R-Pro does indeed have 180 teeth on the RA worm gear, giving 479.6894 seconds.  

Hope that helps
