Sets are repeated three to five times depending on available time but usually last an hour or less. It can be a smoker!
There a few good "Tabata Timer" apps for iPhone. We have a nice big digital clock timer that keeps us on track.

Thanks for the G2. The tabata timer app is a great piece of gear. Cost about $3.00, works like a charm.
This tabata stuff is the real deal. I've been using some stuff around the farm, sledgehammer and a railroad tie, as well as one of those chin up/dip/pushup/ab stands. Brutal workout. I'm wearing a heart rate monitor, and find the tabata workouts do a great job of maxing out the heart rate, in addition to whatever muscle groups you're hitting.
