What verb(s) can you use?
Hello,
If there’s something like a counter, for example, whose speed with which its numbers are going you can control, and you make it go fast, what do you do? Is it you’ve sped it up? Spurred it up? Or what?
Could you tell me, please? Thank you.

But we'd say "tune in" that station, not "tune up" that station."
