How to calculate DC timer in seconds with hyper triggers?

This is probably a simple calculation, but if I have hyper triggers in my map, how many seconds in real time will it take for a DC to be 0 if it's decremented every cycle?

Code
DC = startValue;

while DC > endValue:
 DC -= 1


Or rather, what's the formula to estimate the seconds it takes if a DC is at some startValue and is decremented by 1 until it reaches an endValue?



None.

17 DC = 1 real life second
with hyper triggers at #x2.99

Assuming the game speed is on fastest.

A trigger cycle is 84 milliseconds with hyper triggers, so to calculate exactly one second, you divide 1000 milliseconds by 84.

1000 / 84 = ~11.9047619

Therefore, approximately 12 DCs is equivalent to one second.
