Assuming that you have watched the Herschel Science Centre short videotutorial called Starting with PACS Spectroscopy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcY487Z9Kyg 

And the Herschel Science Centre short videotutorial Point Source Spectroscopy with PACS:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYWTccEQz_M

Or, at least, are familiar with the contents of both short videotutorials and their associated documentation, you will find that the Herschel Science Centre short videotutorial on PACS Cubes in Detail here:

The PACS spectrometer produces five types of data cube and one table as products, although not all types of data have all types of cube. You will learn about each type of cube (re-binned cubes, mosaic cubes - including interpolated, projected, drizzled equidistant mosaic cubes), how and why it is produced and what data it contains, as well as the re-binned cube tables. You will learn also what useful scripts are available to transform cubes to a product of your own personal specifications (e.g. one that has spaxels of a different size).
