I've done it by turning the tire and watching the driveline spin. The opposite tire will run in the opposite direction from the tire you are spinning on an open rear end. But the count is the same.

But either way you MUST have both tires in the air for open differentials. Otherwise with only one tire in the air the speed of the driveline or tires will be off. The tire can speed up to twice that of the normal tire speed (this is why open differentials spin one tire so well).
