Yes. Import each image cube FITS file into the GUI as normal. Then click Window_Control / Multi-Panel Options. In the multi-panel options widget, select the panels you want to use in the new image cube FITS file and click ‘Write Image Cube Fits file”. RHESSI image cube FITS files are assumed to have the same control parameters for all images except for time and energy band. If you select panels with different settings for any of the other control parameters, the image cube FITS file will still be created, but a warning message will appear and you must be careful when you use the file. Image cubes are dimensioned (nx, ny, nenergy, ntime), i.e. there is normally an image for every energy/time pair in the grid. If the panels you select for writing to a new image cube FITS file do not include an image for every energy/time pair in the grid, then the missing images are inserted as blank images.
