strain-rate-dependent material data

I want to define a material (316L Stainless steel) with strain rate dependent data in Abaqus. I toogle on the "Use strain-rate-dependent-data" in the material editor of Abaqus/CAD. The problem is how to enter the data in the tabular data area.

The data I got from material tests are numerous points on the stress/strain curve, each point described by true stress, plastic strain and strain rate. The problem is that all the strain rate values are unequal, so that I can not describe a "unique" stress/strain curve for each strain rate. I therefor need Abaqus to interpolate between each material data. Is this possible? And how do I enter my values in the tabular data area?
