How to Measure Interval Training Intensity?

What kind of gadget do you need? Is it different for 1) cycling, 2) running, and 3) swimming?

The other question is: Do you know a gadget that beeps after a user-set time (like 1min) and again after 30 seconds, etc.

i like to start a cycling, running and swimming Interval Training cycle/program, but i don't know how to Measure Interval Training Intensity.

I do my intervals on a stationary bike so I just use the monitors on it for time/heart rate/resistance level.
Treadmills have the same.
If you like cycling or actual running I would think these would come in handy: Heart Rate Monitor Reviews | GPS Athletic Fitness Monitors
Swimming I'm guessing you could just do you laps at various intensities.

Gym boss works well for timing.

Heart rate monitor will help you measure intensity. Just test max heart rate first and base intensity off of that.
