No.
Since the overnight test is attempting to determine the loss of chlorine due to the organics and biologicals in the water (no UV degradation at night), you do not want a source of chlorine adding FC to your water. Just get the water up to shock level, leave the pumps running and turn off the IC40.
Good luck.

Re: New Salt System, algae is recurring regularly
If you lose no more than 1ppm of FC overnight and have less than 0.5pm of CC, we typically recommend one additional day of leaving the chlorine level high for added insurance and then you can let it drift down.
