The EGRET experiment detected pulsed emission from several pulsars in the HE energy range 20 MeV < E < 10 GeV. However, no pulsed emission has ever been detected above 300 GeV, which points to a cut-off in pulsed emission somewhere between ∼10 GeV and ∼300 GeV. Software has been developed at UCD which is capable of examining gamma-ray events in the energy range $E>130$ GeV and detecting the signature periodicity of pulsars if it exists. Data recorded on the Crab pulsar with the Whipple Imaging Atmospheric Cerenkov Telescope has been analysed with this software and upper limits on pulsed emission have been obtained.
